Make this make sense? Trinidad and Tobago are two comparatively small islands, that means they’re surrounded by water. Each the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean are teeming with fish, but for those who look nearer at our culinary tradition, you’ll discover that we use a good quantity of tin (canned) fish in our recipes.
You’ll Want…
1 can Sardines (in oil)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 small onion (sliced skinny)
1 medium tomato (sliced)
1 scotch bonnet pepper (sliced)
1 teaspoon lemon juice (or lime)
1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
Notes! Please observe together with the video under as rather more in regards to the recipe is mentioned there. Do you have to wish to add some chopped scallions, Shado Beni (culantro) and/or parsley, be at liberty to take action. I didn’t add any salt as defined within the video.
Within the video I spoke about the popular model of sardines mommy would make for us rising up within the Caribbean and the way through the years residing in Canada, that has modified. What I failed to say is that I a lot want sardines packed in oil, reasonably than water. Nevertheless the selection is all yours.
Whereas I benefit from the sardines packed in oil, I often drain that oil out. Then you might have the choice to separate the sardines open and take away the bones and “inners” as proven within the video. Or just crush them with a fork.
Add the black pepper, tomato, lemon juice and Scotch Bonnet pepper (for those who’re making it spicy) and blend collectively.
Then high with the thinly sliced onion.
Warmth the oil on a medium/excessive flame, till you begin seeing whispers of smoke, then pour it straight onto the sliced onion. Not solely will this flash-cook the onions (take away the ‘chew’), the oil will get a stunning onion taste.
Stir effectively to mix and revel in!
My consolation meal contains rice, Dhal, the Sardines like this and slices of ripe zabouca (avocado). When you have lime peppersauce on the aspect… depraved!
This model of canned sardines (referred to as sardine choka by some), is a superb topping for salted crackers or on open face sandwiches.
