Homemade Spanish-style Sardines Recipe

Savor the bold flavors this Spanish-style sardine dish has to offer! Anything homemade is always extra special and this recipe is no exception. It may take some time in the pressure cooker, but this makes your fish much more tender. Definitely something worth the wait. Perfect to pair with freshly baked bread and your favorite coffee for a warm, comforting morning.

If you don’t have a pressure cooker, you can just boil the milkfish, submerged in water and olive oil, for 45 minutes or until the fish is tender. You can also bottle this up and give as gifts. Just don’t forget to sterilize your bottles properly.
