Pilchards

(Anonymous) 2014-02-09 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
This seems like such a dumb question, but I bought a can of pilchards in tomato sauce just because they were cheap and I can't otherwise afford to eat fish as regularly as I apparently should, and now I'm at a loss. Does anyone have any tasty suggestions?

Recipe suggestions, I meant. I deleted a sentence in the middle there.

Try supercook.com !

It'll give you a recipe for the ingredients you have.

That sounds incredibly useful, especially for a poor student like me! Thanks!

Had to look pilchards up, didn't know that was another word for sardines! My go-to with those is just over plain rice, of any type, as long as it's soft-to-sticky (imo drier rice doesn't work). Sometimes a sprinkle of green onion.

I've done basic sandwiches and pasta with the plain oil-packed type... Maybe for the tomato type, on bread toasted on the stove with a bit of oil would work, with any good-sounding veggies lying around sliced thin? I generally put mayo and sweet pickles on with the oil-type, too, maybe those would work.

Pasta: garlic, olive oil, chopped onion, maybe firm grated cheese and pepper. The tomato sauce types I've tried are pretty set on salt levels, so probably no need to add in extra...

I don't even know what pilchards/sardines taste like yet, but just those descriptions are making my mouth water, thank you for the ideas!

The toast is the easiest, quickest thing to do, and you can always substitute most of the listed ingredients for whatever you have on hand/is affordable. Essentially, it's toast+pilchards+cheese->stick it on the grill/stove till it's melted and bubbly.

(Actually the pasta's pretty simple as well, given the pilchards come with their own sauce for you to toss your pasta in. Add as much or as little of the other suggested ingredients as you like, again, according to taste/cost.)

Hope that helps!

Heyyy, I already have those fish cakes bookmarked to try! Thank you, I will check the rest of them out as well :)

Yeah, try eating them.

Seriously, they're tiny canned fish, you can't go wrong. Grab a fork and eat 'em right out of the can, Drop 'em on a plate next to some salad, throw 'em in a sandwich.
