THE GREAT SARDINE CHALLENGE!

[preservefreak]

I ate so many sardines when I was a poor student (last month), this is my favourite recipe for them though (serves 1) :

1 can sardines in oil
100 grams couscous
1 tsp lemon juice
a fresh or rehydrated chilli
some rehydrated onion
some mint leaves
200 ml hot chicken or veg stock (I make mine with bullion powder)

1 - put the couscous in a bowl with the stock, cover.
2 - in another bowl flake the drained sardines with a fork and add the lemon juice
3 - fry the onion in a little oil (in summer when I have lots of veg I'd also put in some peppers and courgettes, but this is the store cupboard option)
4 - mix the vegetables with the now soaked couscous. Add the sardines and the mint and chilli.
5 - stir everything together and enjoy.

This is a summer dish but everything listed above is in my food storage so I can make it any time of year.

I don't own a digital camera so I can't take pictures but I might be able to borrow one and add pictures before the deadline
