My mom used to make Spanish sardines when I was a kid, hence my preference for hot and spicy sardines. I never got the chance to make since I don’t have a pressure cooker at home. But I saw this fresh fish, called salmon in Cebuano (not your temperate salmon, though) and spanish sardines came to mind. A Spanish sardines recipe got me started, albeit without a pressure cooker. I just planned on simmering them for several hours till the meat fell off the bones. This is a really easy preparation, for as long as your fish fresh. Once water has evaporated, you can fry the fish a little to get little crisp. Yum!
Homemade Spanish Sardines
1/2 kilo of fish
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 bay leaves
1 medium sized carrot, chopped
2 tbsp pickle relisk
1 tsp chili powder
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp black pepper
Clean fish, remove scales and cut into serving pieces. Layer fish on a heavy-bottomed pot, add the rest of the ingredients and add enough water to cover the fish. Bring to the boil and let it simmer over low fire until water has evaporated. At the this point, you can fry the fish a little in the oil to get a crisp layer. This is now ready to serve.

Gay! this is such a useful recipe and much healthier than the commercial sardines in bottles or cans. I’ll try to make it at home using olive oil. Thanks for the recipe
