Quick & Savory Sardines with Garlic and Shallots

Simple Canned Sardines Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 small can of ABC sardines
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 small shallots
• 1/4 tablespoon salt
• Cooking oil
• A pinch of granulated sugar
• A small amount of water

Instructions:

1. Begin by finely chopping the garlic and shallots. Set aside.

2. Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat.

3. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped garlic and shallots to the skillet. Sauté the aromatics until they become fragrant and turn a light golden brown. Be careful not to let them burn.

4. Season the sautéed aromatics with salt and continue cooking until they develop a slightly darker color, indicating they are well-cooked and flavorful.

5. Gently add the can of ABC sardines to the skillet. Stir to combine the sardines with the cooked aromatics.

6. Sprinkle a pinch of granulated sugar over the sardines and add a small amount of water to the skillet. The sugar will help balance the flavors and the water will prevent the dish from becoming too dry.

7. Allow the mixture to simmer until the liquid reduces and the sardines are thoroughly heated through. This will also allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.

8. Once the sauce has thickened and the sardines are cooked to your desired consistency, remove the skillet from heat.

9. Transfer the sardines to a serving dish and enjoy this simple yet flavorful dish either as a main course or a side.

This recipe highlights the convenience of canned sardines while transforming them into a delicious meal with minimal effort. Enjoy your homemade sardines!
