SPAGHETTI WITH SARDINES

Steps:

• Cook the spaghetti in a large pan of boiling salted water according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, make the sauce. Heat the oil in a medium pan and cook the garlic for 1 min. Add the chilli flakes, tomatoes and sardines, breaking up roughly with a wooden spoon. Heat for 2-3 mins, then stir in the olives, capers and most of the parsley. Mix well to combine.
• Drain the pasta, reserving a couple of tbsp of the water. Add the pasta to the sauce and mix well, adding the reserved water if the sauce is a little thick. Divide between 4 bowls and sprinkle with the remaining parsley.

SARDINE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the eggs until slightly foamy, about 5 times. With the machine running, pour the oil through the feed tube a few drops at a time. When about 1 cup has been added and the sauce starts to thicken, pour a little faster, in a slow, steady stream, until the oil has been incorporated.
• Add the sardines and 2 tablespoons of the peppercorns. Pulse to combine, about 10 times. Add the vinegar and salt, and pulse to combine.
• Scrape the sauce into a medium bowl, and stir in the remaining peppercorns.

TASTY SARDINE PATE

Steps:

• Add all ingredients either to a food processor or a medium bowl if using an immersion blender stick. Blend until just smooth. Don't over-process it too much. I like to pulse blend a few times, making sure I scrape and incorporate all ingredients evenly.
• Transfer to a bowl to serve with crispbreads, sourdough, sliced veggies, low-carb or paleo crackers or use in wraps, salads etc.

SARDINES IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in pan.
• Add onion. Saute until clear.

• Add frozen greens and sardines with their sauce. Cook a couple more minutes, until warmed through.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve over pasta, rice, or polenta. It's even nice just with some good bread.

SARDINE ROULADE WITH JALAPEñO, MONTEREY JACK, AND TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare the egg sponge and while it is baking make the sauce.
• Make the sauce:
• In a saucepan cook the garlic in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is golden, add the tomatoes with the juice, and simmer the mixture, breaking up the tomatoes, for 15 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
• Assemble the roulade:
• Spread the sauce on the warm egg sponge, leaving a 1-inch border on the long sides, sprinkle it with the sardines, the jalapeño, and 1 cup of the Monterey Jack, and starting with a long side roll up the egg sponge jelly-roll fashion. With the aid of the towel and the wax paper transfer the roulade, seam side down, to a shallow baking pan, brush the top lightly with the butter, and sprinkle it with the remaining 1/4 cup Monterey Jack. Bake the roulade in the upper third of a preheated 375°F. oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the Monterey Jack is melted, and slice it.
• Make the egg sponge:
• Line a buttered jelly-roll pan, 15 1/2 by 10 1/2 by 1 inches, with wax paper, butter the paper, and dust it with flour, knocking out the excess. In a saucepan melt the butter, add the flour, and cook the roux over moderately low heat, stirring for 3 minutes. Add the milk in a stream, whisking, and simmer the mixture, whisking occasionally, for 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and whisk in the yolks, 1 at a time, whisking well after each addition. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the whites until they just hold stiff peaks, stir one third of them into the yolk mixture, and fold in the remaining whites gently, but thoroughly. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake it in the middle of a preheated 350° F. oven for 25 minutes, or until it is golden and firm to the touch. Cover the egg sponge with a sheet of buttered wax paper, buttered side down, and a kitchen towel, invert a baking sheet over the towel, and invert the egg sponge onto the baking sheet, removing the wax paper from the top carefully. Trim 1/4 inch from the short sides of the egg sponge.
