For many years, I have abstained myself from taking any dish with canned sardine. But that had changed ever since I have tasted a fantastic recipe cooked by our chef in my previous workplace.
For the recipe below, I had used canned sardine in tomato sauce and lemon juice to get rid of its unpleasant smell. It turned out fabulous and quite pleasing to our palate though it can't never be the same from what I had tasted before. You may discard the sauce and use only the fish but this is personal choice.
They are great serve with rice, paratha, naan or bread.
SARDINE SAMBAL
Servings : 3-4
1 tall can sardine in tomato sauce
3 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
5 shallots chopped
1 big onion sliced
1 stalk lemon grass smashed
2 tomato chopped
salt and sugar to taste
2 tablespoons oil
lemon juice
METHOD
Heat the oil, saute the shallots , lemon grass and garlic until fragrant.
Add in tomato and salt, cook until tomato turns soft.
Now add the chili powder and turmeric powder, stir for 2 minutes.
Add the sardine together with half of its sauce (if using) and sugar, stir for a minute, remove from heat.
Add in the big onion and lemon juice, serve hot.

Looks Fiery and delicious.
looks very spicy and tasty
I usually grill fresh sadines. I don't like the canned ones. Also, your canned sardines look lot bigger than what we get here. Canned ones are very tiny. Anyway, sambal looks delicious!
looks delicious..love the color.
Spicy-Aroma

Naz suka sgt sambal sardine cam ni.. Buat pedas2 sikit mmg best makan dgn nasi panas. Pas tu potong timun jer..
The sambal looks very yummy. I would love to try veggie version of this :)
This is very timely. My husband had bought a lot of sardines because he had some friends coming over to go hunting. However, they brought their own food and none of the sardines were eaten.
Plain sardines do get kind of boring after awhile, so I am saving this tasty recipe. Clearly a variety is needed to consume all that he bought!
i love sardines.

I have never been in love with sardines but this looks good! I'm sure the sauce with the lemon and spices really gives a nice flavor. I will have to mark this to try sometime since sardines are so healthy!
