Sardines with Tomato Sauce and Capers

This simple dish is easy to make and can be enjoyed as an appetizer or main course. Start by sautéing onions in olive oil until they become golden brown. Add garlic, capers, tomato sauce, and seasonings of your choice. Simmer the sauce until it thickens before adding the sardines. Cook them for another 5 minutes before serving them warm over a bed of cooked rice or with bread.

Sardine Pate

This pate is rich and creamy thanks to its combination of sardines, cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Start by combining all ingredients in a food processor before transferring the mixture into a bowl. To give it additional flavor, serve it with sliced red onions before serving with crackers or toast points.

Grilled Sardines

Sometimes keeping things simple is the best approach when cooking with sardines. Start by marinating sardines in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano leaves, salt & pepper for about 30 minutes then grill them over medium heat until they turn golden brown and flaky. Serve the grilled sardines in tacos with salsa verde and shredded cabbage for an added crunch!
