But like most moms who work or have other chores to do, there are days when I feel too lazy or too tired to slave in the kitchen. In times like this, I count on my stash of canned goods for a quick-fix meal. Yue loves fish, so I make sure that we always have canned sardines or mackerel at home. And when it comes to canned fish products, our brand of choice is Uni-Pak.
Pak na pak sa Uni-Pak! |
Going back to quick-fix meals, one of my favorite ways of enjoying sardines is by simply squeezing some lemon on it after I've taken it out from the can. Yue, however, prefers them sauteed or curried. It's my son's penchant for curry-flavored food that inspired this twist to a simple can of sardines.
Uni-Pak Sardine Curry
Ingredients:
2 155g cans of Uni-Pak Sardines in Tomato Sauce
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 small onion, sliced
250 mL coconut milk
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Yue's new favorite curry dish - Uni-Pak Sardine Curry. :) |
Procedure:
1. Heat olive oil in a skillet. Saute the garlic and onion until softenend.
2. Add the coconut milk and curry powder, mix them well.
3. Add the sardines together with the tomato sauce. Mix gently and cover and cook in low hear for at least five minutes.
4. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve with warm rice.

I FRIGGIN LOVE SARDINES - for some reason I have NEVER thought to make canned sardines into a curry of sorts! THIS IS GENIUS and I am 10000% doing this!
ReplyDeleteI really love these kinds of recipes! Working in SCUBA diving you often come home and are way to exhausted to cook a serious meal. So I really enjoy upgraded simple meals like this! thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteI find such joy in cooking for my family but often don’t have the time to do an elaborate meal. Finding alternatives like this is so helpful!
ReplyDeleteI seriously love sardines and I'm so happy to find a recipe that actually uses them. I feel like sardines get such a bad rap! My boyfriend thinks its so weird that I buy them, but maybe if I hide them in an awesome meal like this.... ;)

ReplyDeleteI love cooking for my family. However, I do not like sardines. I can't even get my husband to eat any other fish except tuna. There's no way I'd get him to eat sardines. Sounds like an interesting recipe though.
