Fried Sardines
Ingredients
½ cup Whole wheat flour, divided
-
2 (4.4oz) cans Wild Planet Wild Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Egg
¼ cup Water
¼ tsp Garlic powder
¼ tsp Red chili flakes
¼ tsp Oregano
¼ tsp Salt
Directions
Combine ¼ cup of whole wheat flour with all spices into a shallow bowl. Set aside. In another bowl, whisk together egg, water and ¼ cup whole wheat flour.
Place a large pan on your stovetop and set to low heat. Once pan is hot, pour in olive oil from both cans of sardines. Let oil heat up.
Carefully dip one sardine at a time into wet mixture. Use a fork to assist with this. Once oil starts to simmer, carefully add in your battered sardines. Flip over after 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove sardines from oil and place on a dish lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil. Serve over a salad or with your favorite veggies.
