Preparation

  1. 1

    Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the onions and garlic, and sauté for 3 minutes until soft.

  3. 3

    Stir in the tomato paste and curry powder, cooking for 2 minutes to cook out the raw paste taste.

  4. 4

    Add the tinned crushed tomatoes, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook uncovered for 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Gently slide in the sardines along with their tin oil, spooning the sauce over the fish without breaking them up too much. Simmer for 2 minutes and season with salt.
