Sardines - food of the gods - best recipes - post pictures!

I just found the same sardines as TexLaw ( above post )...Will try them tonight. $2 at the Grocery Outlet , which sells off brand and close out products at very good prices. Much of what POLAR brand sells originates in China , but these sardines are from Latvia.... I'll critique the quality after tonight's salad ...The picture is NOT of an open can, it has a clear plastic pull-tab top !

I picked a recipe of YouTube a year or two ago. There this guy named Alex who cooked a few things with sardines.

he had a spin of Unagi Don. Which is a japanese recipe made with eel, a sweetand salty sauce with rice.

he makes good recipes with a minimum of ingredients.

This one is fairly simple.

make some white rice
1 tin of sardines rinced. Those in water are best.

For the sauce
Soy sauce(or tamari or coconut sap)
Blackstrap molasses (I prefer maple syrup)
A dash of vinegar (rice or apple cider)
A tiny bit of water
A tablespoon or so of cornstarch (I use tapioca flour) to thicken the sauce.

Mix all sauce ingredients except the flour. Heat up and then mix the flour with water in a glass of water to avoid lumps. Drop the flour mix in the sauce, keep mixing.

when it’s thick(like a sauce), drop the sardines in and roll them in the sauce.

put the rice in a bowl. Put the sardines on top with a bit of sauce.

you can cut a spring onion with scissors on top, add coriander or parsley. I add some sesame seeds and voila!

my take is a bit different but I enjoy that one here and there. I make it with cauliflower rice sometimes

I've eaten his with the eel. Very good. Sardines should work too.

Made it tonight without any flour so the sauce was liquify a bit...

I love their mackerel, but I greatly prefer my sardines with skin & bones.

My wife makes fried fish patties with corn meal, egg and green onions.

Had the Polar sardines last night in a big mixed salad...Not too salty, very tender, and medium-heavy smoke flavor, these would be good on a pizza !

Stumbled on a great combination the other day when grilling a half a left over prime rib - sardines and horseradish sauce. Two thumbs up.
