Homemade Oil Sardines Homemade Oil Sardines
I was told how to make this from a shop that always has delicious homemade oil sardines.These also taste good if you add thyme or basil. Add your favorite herbs and adjust the amount of garlic, chili pepper, and pepper to your tastes. Olive oil is kind of strong, so you can use soybean oil or vegetable oil if you prefer. You can also add the oil from this recipe to pasta or salad, or even stir-fries. They will store in the refrigerator for 1 month, but please try to eat them quickly. Store in the freezer.

A long time ago the supermarket used to sell these sardines cheaply and I'd make this recipe. But recently they don't sell them as much so it's been a long time since I've made this.Don't use herring sardines. They're easier to eat and taste better when covered in lots of sauce.Since the portions of the sauce ingredients are all the same, you can easily adjust the amount of sauce needed.

I tried a fish dish.Once you put the sardines in the pot, do not touch the fish often, just pour the cooking liquid over using a ladle or a spoon. Cook without a lid. The sardines are fresh if you can see around 7 dots clearly in a single horizontal line on the body. Recipe by Manmarumauchan
