- 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
- Water (as needed)

Instructions:

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by heating a generous amount of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced garlic and shallots. Sauté until they become fragrant and golden brown.

Add the Chilies: Incorporate the sliced bird’s eye chilies into the skillet. Stir them with the garlic and shallots, allowing the spices to blend together and infuse the oil with their aroma.
-
Combine with Potatoes: Gently add the boiled potato chunks to the skillet. Toss them with the sautéed spices to ensure they are well coated and begin to absorb the flavors.
-
Incorporate the Sardines: Open the tin of sardines and add them, along with their oil, to the skillet. Mix gently to combine everything thoroughly.
-
Add Liquid and Season: Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients. Season with salt and a little extra seasoning as desired. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a simmer.
-
Simmer and Adjust: Let the dish simmer for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
-
Finish and Serve: Once the potatoes are fully cooked and have absorbed the flavors, remove from heat. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy this delightful sardine and potato dish hot.
This recipe pairs well with a side of rice or can be enjoyed on its own as a hearty and flavorful meal.
