ISLAND-STYLE SARDINES AND RICE

Island-Style Sardines and Rice image

This is one of my favorite recipes. My favorite way to enjoy this is in the morning, for breakfast, with some good coffee. It is made from items that are almost always found in a West Indian/Carribean kitchen. Sardines can be substituted with any canned salt fish, but the soybean oil gives it the texture that is out of this world! Very tasty if you love spicy and if you love sardines!

Categories dinner, lunch, vegetables, appetizer, main course

Time 25m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 pound sardines, (or 4 to 6 per person depending on the size), cleaned, heads removed
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
2 garlic cloves, peeled, halved, and green shoots removed
Pinch of saffron threads
Pinch of ground ginger
2 onions, sliced or chopped
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed
2 small bay leaves
1 lemon, sliced in rounds
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

Pat sardines dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy skillet and add sardines. Cook on one side for about 2 1/2 minutes, flip over and cook on the other side for another 2 1/2 minutes, or until flesh is opaque and flakes when poked with a fork. Add 2 tablespoons of the vinegar, toss together and scrape bottom of pan with a spoon to deglaze. Remove from heat and transfer to a ceramic baking dish.
In a mortar and pestle, mash together garlic, a generous pinch of salt, saffron and ginger.
Heat remaining olive oil over medium heat in the skillet in which you cooked the sardines and add onions and pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic mix, coriander seeds and bay leaves and continue to cook, stirring often, until onions are very soft but not browned (add a little salt if they begin to stick), another 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in remaining vinegar and turn heat to medium low. Simmer for another 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and add to dish with sardines. Toss together gently.
Top sardines with lemon slices. Cover dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (as long as overnight). Before serving, sprinkle with parsley.

GRILLED SARDINES

Grilled Sardines image

What to do about seafood? Nutritionists say we should eat more, that many types of fish are nutritious and contain fats that seem to protect the heart. I know from experience that many of them can make for fine meals. If you've only had sardines from a can, you may turn up your nose at them. Fresh ones will change your mind. Brush them with olive oil, toss a few sprigs of rosemary onto a hot grill, and grill them. Sardines take two to three minutes to grill and about that long to eat. They're a rare treat and a great nutritional package, containing omega-3 fats, selenium, vitamin B12, calcium, niacin and phosphorus.

Time 15m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

24 medium or large sardines, cleaned
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt
freshly ground pepper
A handful of fresh rosemary sprigs
Lemon wedges

Steps:

Prepare a hot grill, making sure the grill is oiled. Rinse the sardines, and dry with paper towels. Toss with the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
When the grill is ready, toss the rosemary sprigs directly on the fire. Wait for the flames to die down, then place the sardines directly over the heat, in batches if necessary. Grill for a minute or two on each side, depending on the size. Transfer from the grill to a platter using tongs or a wide metal spatula, and serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

Choose fresh sardines: Look for sardines that are firm to the touch and have clear, bright eyes. Avoid sardines that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
Clean the sardines properly: Remove the head, tail, and entrails of the sardines. Be sure to rinse the sardines thoroughly under cold water to remove any remaining scales or debris.
Marinate the sardines: Marinating the sardines in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to enhance their flavor and prevent them from drying out during cooking.
Cook the sardines over medium heat: Cooking the sardines over medium heat will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming dry. Sardines are cooked when they are opaque and flaky.
Serve the sardines immediately: Sardines are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or potatoes.
