Low carb recipe with sardines | How to prepare
After cutting all the ingredients of the low carb recipe with sardines, line the bottom of a pressure cooker with half of the onions and then make a layer with half of the tomato. I didn't use the bell pepper because I don't like it, but if you use it, put half of it here too. Season with salt and black pepper.
Arrange the sardines on top of the tomatoes. Cover the fish with another layer of onions and tomatoes (and peppers) and season again with salt and black pepper.
On top, spread the paprika, herbs, bay leaf (I didn't have any, so I didn't use it) and drizzle with vinegar or white wine. Cover the pan and cook over high heat. When it starts to sizzle, lower the heat and cook for 20 minutes.
Wait for the pressure to release before opening the lid. Serve with the sauce that forms in the pan. I served it with low-carb cauliflower puree.
These quantities serve 2 people well. I like to make a little more and store the leftovers in the fridge to later make sandwiches or canapés with the cold sardines.
