One of my long time favorite midnight snacks is ‘Tiny Tot’ sardines in oil, placed on saltine crackers and doused with plenty of Tabasco sauce. Chase them with a nice cold beer...
It’s wicked and heavenly at the same time.
I’ll haveta try that tabasco thing!..............

Spaghetti with Sardines
Store/cupboard supper is super quick and super-healthy to boot.
Ing cooked spaghetti, tbl ol/oil 2 chp gar/cl, pinch chili flakes 227g can chp tomato 2 cans skinless/boneless sardines in ol/oil 100g pitted black olives, rough-chp, tbl dry capers, small handful chp parsley.
Sauce Method Heat 2-3 min chili flakes, ol/oil, tomatoes and sardines, breaking up roughly w/ wooden spoon, then stir in olives, capers and most of parsley. Mix well/combine. Add cooked pasta; mix well, add bit pasta water if sauce thickens. Divide between 4 bowls; sprinkle w/ rest parsley.
Those are top notch. It seems the smaller are higher quality when it comes to sardines.
