Ingredients

  • 1 can of sardines (in oil or tomato sauce)
  • Breadcrumbs (as needed)
  • Fresh red chilies (to taste)
  • Red onions (to taste)
  • Garlic (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sardines:

    • Open the can of sardines and separate the sardines from the sauce.
  2. Coat the Sardines:

    • Place the sardines into a bowl with breadcrumbs, ensuring each sardine is thoroughly coated.
  3. Fry the Sardines:

    • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the coated sardines until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  4. Prepare the Sauce:

    • In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté finely chopped red onions and garlic until they become fragrant and translucent.
  5. Add the Sauce:

    • Pour in the reserved sardine sauce and add sliced fresh red chilies. Simmer until the sauce is well combined and the flavors meld together.
  6. Combine and Serve:

    • Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. Pour the spicy sauce over the crispy sardines or serve it on the side for dipping.
  7. Enjoy:

    • Serve the sardines hot with the spicy sauce and enjoy a delightful combination of crispy texture and rich flavors.
