Alternative Filling: You can add ingredients to the filling, such as toasted pine nuts or raisins for a touch of sweetness and crunch.
For a More Intense Flavor: Add spices such as smoked paprika or chili pepper to the breadcrumbs for a stronger flavor.Temperature Control: Keep the oil at just the right temperature to prevent the sardines from absorbing too much oil or becoming too dark.
These stuffed, breaded and fried sardines are irresistible thanks to their crunchy exterior and soft interior. They are perfect served with a yogurt sauce or a simple green salad!
