Hard boil half a dozen eggs. Shell and halve the eggs and turn out the yolks into a bowl. Mash the yolks with a drained can of sardines, adding a little tomato puree to bind the mixture. Season. Pipe the mixture back into the egg halves and serve.

@RosaMarie My mother learned the recipe when she first settled in England. Apparently it was very fashionable at dinner parties in the 1970s!

@SunshineGirl so cool! I will let you know how they turn out

@WasEP Use a fork to do the mashing.

If you don't like the heads and so on, sardines ARE available without them...boneless and cleaned.

Sardines have a VERY fishy taste, which is not for everyone...but I did find a way to alleviate the extreme fishiness. Flake the sardines as though you were using them to make a fish salad sandwich, and place them in a bowl.

THEN pour reconstituted lemon juice on them straight from the bottle, to cover, and let that sit for about 15 minutes. Then drain and rinse.

You can make sardine salad by mixing the flaked sardines, (above), with chopped red onion and a little mayonnaise.

ANOTHER thing that kills fishiness, if you don't care for the very fishy taste of sardines, is mustard powder. Add 1/2 tsp mustard powder to 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, and mix well. You can also add 1 tsp of sugar if you like. (Optional). Then add mayonnaise and flaked sardines.

@4meAndyou I just opened the can, they were headless and appear to have been gutted. Just mashed them up with salt pepper garlic and some lemon. I am going to mix them in deviled eggs. Eggs just finished

@WasEP Devilled eggs contain mustard, so that might do the trick!

@Wallflow3r You started it with your cat asking a question. I was just running with your joke.
Wallflow3r · 31-35, F
@RosaMarie I know I was just joking too 😏

My mother would not allow them in the house, so my father and I would eat them out of the can with saltine crackers on fishing trips. I didn't know there was any other way to eat them.

@exexec Same with potted meat, fishing trips only.
exexec · 70-79, C
@Swoop62 Yes, I forgot about that one. Dad liked Vienna sausages, but I didn't
Swoop62 · M
@exexec Matter of fact just had some Vienna Sausages but potted meat only when fishing with that wooden spoon and hard to look at. And not been fishing in many years so safe from that health food.

I just open and mix into or onto whatever carb I'm having, like in rice or mashed potatoes or on crackers/toast.
WasEP · 51-55, M
@faery never had them before, don’t to find a creative way to eat them
faery · F
@WasEP Just eat the them right out of the tin. They're delicious on their own

I've recently tried vegetable risotto adding sardines ❤
RosaMarie · 46-50, F
@being ooh.
WasEP · 51-55, M
@being mashed up or whole
being · 36-40, F
@WasEP you add the sardines together with the veggies and as they cook they become mashed
Pretzel · 70-79, M
I remember eating those things right out of the can when I was a kid.

No, I bought canned sardines and want to eat them in a delicious way. Never had them before
WasEP · 51-55, M
@RosaMarie gonna try the deviled egg option now. They seem to a super food that is really good for you
RosaMarie · 46-50, F
@WasEP It is, but so are almost all the oily fish. Mackrel, Salmon, etc.
WasEP · 51-55, M
@RosaMarie I eat salmon too

@StygianKohlrabi could be, to make em crackers from scratch and add sardines..?
@being just eat it
being · 36-40, F
@StygianKohlrabi I'm doing it just right now actually, can of sardines and bread :D
RosaMarie · 46-50, F
Which question are you asking?

You have fresh sardines and want to preserve them in home canning jars.

You can commercially canned sardines and have no idea what to do with them.
WasEP · 51-55, M
@RosaMarie I bought the sardines in Tim cans and want a recipe that is a delious way to eat them
Swoop62 · M
Never open those, that takes over the whole house.
Chop a little green onion, mix it up with lemon and salt and add to crackers
WasEP · 51-55, M
@V00doo gonna see how the deviled eggs come out.
