Spicy Sardine Tomato Delight

Spicy Sardine Tomato Stew

Ingredients:

• 1 can of sardines (brand of your choice; I used Sasa)
• 7 bird’s eye chilies
• 3 curly chilies
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1/2 onion
• 1 tomato
• Salt, pepper, sugar, and seasoning to taste
• Water, as needed
• Oil for sautéing

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

   • Slice the garlic, onion, chilies, and tomato into thin pieces.

2. Sauté the Aromatics:

   • Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan over medium heat.
   • Add the sliced garlic, onion, and chilies to the pan. Sauté until they start to soften and become fragrant.

3. Add the Tomato:

   • Once the garlic, onion, and chilies are slightly wilted, add the sliced tomato to the pan. Continue to cook for a few minutes until the tomato begins to break down.

4. Incorporate the Sardines:

   • Gently add the sardines to the pan. Pour in a small amount of water to help combine the flavors and create a slight broth.

5. Season the Stew:

   • Bring the mixture to a boil. Season with salt, pepper, sugar, and your preferred seasoning. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

6. Simmer and Serve:

   • Allow the stew to simmer until it reaches your desired consistency and the flavors meld together.
   • Give it a final stir, then turn off the heat.
