POP'S TOMATO-BRAISED SARDINES



Pop's Tomato-Braised Sardines image

My husband spent 2 years in the Philippines as a missionary. Along with his life-changing experience, he brought home a rich culinary repertoire that he incorporated into our family recipes. He passed away in 2016, and these recipes have become things our children treasure. They are part of the memories and fabric that keep his memory bright and alive. Here is "ginisang sardinas" which is a wonderful way to use canned sardines. This is usually eaten spooned over rice per each individual's desire/taste.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground paprika
¼ large onion, diced
½ teaspoon tomato paste
1 ½ cups halved cherry tomatoes
½ cup white cooking wine
¼ cup water
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 (4 ounce) cans sardines, drained
2 limes, juiced, divided

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat until warm. Add garlic powder and paprika; cook until you can smell the spices, about 1 minute. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in tomato paste and cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer. Add cherry tomatoes and mix until well combined. Cover the pan and cook until tomatoes begin to release their liquid, about 5 minutes.
  • While tomatoes are cooking, combine remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil with 1/2 of the lime juice. Add sardines and gently toss to coat with lime marinade.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Remove the lid from the skillet. Pour cooking wine in with onion and tomatoes; stir well. Add water and fish sauce; bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until liquid begins to reduce, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove sardines from the marinade and place on top of tomato sauce. Discard remaining marinade.
  • Place under the preheated broiler until sardines are well cooked and some of the tomatoes are charred, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Pour remaining lime juice over the sardines and serve.

SARDINE AND BALSAMIC TOMATO PANINI



Sardine and Balsamic Tomato Panini image

Sardines are a fantastic underused food. Found this sandwich recipe in The Wichita Eagle who wrote, "The noble sardine does not get much respect in this country, although lots of older folks grew up enjoying it on crackers. In reality, it's an inexpensive, handy and healthy food to keep on hand. Here's a recipe that puts it to good use. It's adapted from "200 Best Panini Recipes" by Tiffany Collins (Rose, $24.95)."

SPINACH AND SARDINE SANDWICH



Spinach and Sardine Sandwich image

Whenever I fly, I like to go armed with lunch, as the food in airports tends to be both appalling and expensive. Lately I've hitting the road with sandwiches that combine produce with canned fish, like sardines, herring, trout or smoked salmon - all of them high in omega-3 fatty acids, packed with protein and delicious. In some of this week's sandwiches, I used small whole-wheat English muffins that were lightly toasted. The muffins won't fall apart, even with a juicy filling like Greek salad, and I like the size. This is inspired by the classic Mediterranean combination of sardines and spinach. I like to use lightly smoked sardines in olive oil for it.

Time 10m

Yield One serving

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small garlic clove, minced
2 ounces baby spinach 2 cups tightly packed, rinsed
Salt
freshly ground pepper
1 small (3 1/2-inch) whole-wheat English muffin, lightly toasted
Dijon mustard (optional)
2 canned sardines, preferably lightly smoked in olive oil about 2 ounces, filleted
1 small tomato, sliced optional
Lemon juice
About 1 teaspoon mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spinach. Turn up the heat, and wilt the spinach in the water left on the leaves after washing. Season with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat. Drain and press out excess water.
  • Lightly toast the English muffin. Spread a little mustard if desired over the bottom half and top with the spinach. Lay the sardine fillets over the spinach, and douse with a little lemon juice. If you have a nice ripe in season tomato, lay over the sardines. Spread the top half of the English muffin with mayonnaise, and top the sandwich. Press down and cut in half, or wrap and refrigerate until ready to eat.

SARDINE TOASTS WITH TOMATO AND SWEET ONION



Sardine Toasts With Tomato and Sweet Onion image

A classic pantry meal, sardine toasts are just the thing to eat when you're starving and there's nothing in the house for dinner. If you don't have tomatoes, just leave them out. With their saline flavor and buttery texture, all sardines need is some good bread and a little crunchy onion to set them off.

4 thick slices crusty sourdough bread
1 garlic clove, halved
Softened butter, as needed
1 large ripe tomato, thinly sliced
1 can sardines (6 to 7 ounces), deboned if you like

Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Fresh lemon juice, to taste
Flaky sea salt
Coarsely ground black pepper
Fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)
