Sardines in tomato sauce with onion and garlic

Salut,

I love sardines. I've been eating sardines in the can since I was a child. I always have stock sardines in my pantry so I can cook this dish whenever I craving for it. There are so many brand of canned sardines produces here and these sardines are available in a variety of flavors. For me, I liked sardines in tomato sauce.

Like many people here eat sardines straight from the can without cooking them, because for them cooking would spoil the texture. Some eat it with salad and bread with squeeze of lemon. Unlike me, I really liked eating canned sardines when it is cook and fried up with onion, garlic, chilli padi and extra tomato sauce and again, served with rice. So yummy..

It's happen once when I cooked sardine and make them for sardines sandwich, it surprises some people that never had them that way before. In fact they like it and asking what did I put on my sardine recipe.
