SPANISH SARDINES PASTA
this is my variation of the poor man's pasta i did earlier.
ingredients:
spanish sardines, hindi spanish-style...go for the real thing
half head of native garlic (mas malasa), chopped
one red onion, chopped
two native tomatoes, chopped
one 250 ml bottle of olive oil (can be extra virgin olive oil, doesn't matter)
sprig of parsley (or depends on your taste)
salt to taste
EXTRA ingredients (can be without but i preferred to have my dish with these:
mc cormick onion powder, garlic powder and italian seasoning
1. instead of using dilis, i used spanish sardines. crush the sardines and separate the oil from the fish.
2. cook the pasta al dente.
3. you need onions, parsley, tomatoes, and garlic. chop all of these.
4. slighlty brown the chopped garlic using the oil from the canned spanish sardines. mix with onions and after a few minutes mix the chopped tomatoes. add parsley.
5. i'm not really good with writing recipes so i don't know the terms but after a few minutes of adding the tomatoes, add the sardines. cook until the "fishy" (lansa) smell has dissipated.
add the olive oil. all of it.
i guess what made my pasta dish successful was the kind of olive oil i used. someone gave me a basketful of goodies, which included a bottle of olive oil with oregano. it was so aromatic. if you can't have that, just use the ordinary olive oil while the oregano bits (mc cormick has oregano bits in a bottle) are optional.
add salt, onion powder, garlic powder to taste. add a dash of the italian seasoning for flair. lasahan mo. depende sa panlasa mo kung paano mo titimplahin. actually experimental lang lahat 'to kaya wala akong kahit anong measurement o any way of determining kung tama na ba ang luto o lasa.
the barest pasta dish you could eat. masarap sya.
