Open and pour the can of sardines in a big bowl, then separate the sardines from the tomato sauce and reserve. The next step is optionally available. Break up every sardine lengthwise in half and take away (discard) the center bones of every fish. Be mild.
Warmth the coconut oil (use your fav oil) in a large saucepan on a medium flame, then add the bell pepper, onion, scotch bonnet and scallions. Flip the warmth to med/low and cook dinner for 3 minutes.
Then add the black pepper, thyme and curry powder and cook dinner for an additional 2 minutes, earlier than including the reserved tomato sauce.
Rinse the bowl with the tomato sauce with the water and add that water to the pan. Stir properly and add the salt. Convey to a simmer (medium warmth) and cook dinner for 3 minutes.
At this level add the chunky items of tomato, stir (mild – defined within the video) and cook dinner for two minutes earlier than including the sardine fillets.
Be very mild when including the sardine fillets or they may collapse on you.. until that’s what you need (chunky items). Spoon on the sauce over the fish, scale back the warmth to a simmer and cook dinner till it heats by.
Three minutes later it’s possible you’ll style and regulate the salt to your liking, add the lemon (or lime) juice and high with the chopped parsley. Flip off the range. You’ll be able to at all times add extra water in the event you discover that the sauce is overly thick.
When my Guyanese buddies launched me to this dish, they served it with steaming sizzling rice. Personally I take pleasure in it with Sada Roti, slices of avocado (zabouca) and with peppersauce on the facet.
