SPINACH, SARDINE AND RICE GRATIN



Spinach, Sardine and Rice Gratin image

Sometimes a can of sardines comes in very handy and this dish is a great way to work more high-omega 3 fish into your diet. It is a classic Provençal gratin, traditionally made with fresh sardines but just as good made with the skinless, boneless olive-oil packed sardines I buy at Trader Joe's. You are getting lots of calcium, Omega-3 fatty acids and iron from both the sardines and the spinach.

Time 45m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2-3 3/4-ounce cans boneless, skinless and boneless sardines packed in olive oil
2 pounds spinach (2 generous bunches), stemmed and washed in two changes of water or 1 pound baby spinach
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 to 4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, roughly chopped, or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1 cup cooked rice (brown or white; I like to use Arborio)
1/4 cup fresh or dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Oil a 1 1/2 to 2-quart gratin or baking dish. Remove the sardines from the oil and separate them into fillets. Set the oil aside.
  • Wilt the spinach either by steaming or blanching. To blanch bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt generously and add the spinach. Blanch for no more than 20 seconds (do this in batches). Transfer to a bowl of cold water, drain and squeeze out excess water. If you prefer, you can wilt the spinach by steaming for about 1 minute over an inch of boiling water. Chop medium-fine.
  • Heat the olive oil (not the oil from the sardines) in the skillet over medium heat and add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt, stir in the garlic and thyme and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute, then add the chopped wilted spinach, flour, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir together for 1 minute, until everything is blended. Add the milk and cooked rice and stir together for about 1 minute, until you no longer see liquid in the pan. Remove from the heat. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
  • Spread half the rice and spinach in the bottom of the baking dish. Top with the sardine fillets in one layer. Drizzle a tablespoon of the oil from the cans over the sardines, then top with the remaining rice and spinach in an even layer. Sprinkle on the breadcrumbs and drizzle on another tablespoon of the oil from the sardine cans. Place in the oven and bake 15 minutes, until sizzling. Serve hot or warm.

ISLAND-STYLE SARDINES AND RICE



Island-Style Sardines and Rice image

This is one of my favorite recipes. My favorite way to enjoy this is in the morning, for breakfast, with some good coffee. It is made from items that are almost always found in a West Indian/Carribean kitchen. Sardines can be substituted with any canned salt fish, but the soybean oil gives it the texture that is out of this world! Very tasty if you love spicy and if you love sardines!

SPINACH AND SARDINE SANDWICH



Spinach and Sardine Sandwich image

Whenever I fly, I like to go armed with lunch, as the food in airports tends to be both appalling and expensive. Lately I've hitting the road with sandwiches that combine produce with canned fish, like sardines, herring, trout or smoked salmon - all of them high in omega-3 fatty acids, packed with protein and delicious. In some of this week's sandwiches, I used small whole-wheat English muffins that were lightly toasted. The muffins won't fall apart, even with a juicy filling like Greek salad, and I like the size. This is inspired by the classic Mediterranean combination of sardines and spinach. I like to use lightly smoked sardines in olive oil for it.

Categories     lunch, quick, weekday, sandwiches, main course

Time 10m

Yield One serving

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small garlic clove, minced
2 ounces baby spinach 2 cups tightly packed, rinsed
Salt
freshly ground pepper
1 small (3 1/2-inch) whole-wheat English muffin, lightly toasted
Dijon mustard (optional)
2 canned sardines, preferably lightly smoked in olive oil about 2 ounces, filleted
1 small tomato, sliced optional
Lemon juice
About 1 teaspoon mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spinach. Turn up the heat, and wilt the spinach in the water left on the leaves after washing. Season with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat. Drain and press out excess water.
  • Lightly toast the English muffin. Spread a little mustard if desired over the bottom half and top with the spinach. Lay the sardine fillets over the spinach, and douse with a little lemon juice. If you have a nice ripe in season tomato, lay over the sardines. Spread the top half of the English muffin with mayonnaise, and top the sandwich. Press down and cut in half, or wrap and refrigerate until ready to eat.

Tips:

  • Fresh ingredients are essential for this recipe. Use the freshest spinach, sardines, and rice you can find.
  • Don't overcook the spinach. It should be wilted but still bright green.
  • Flake the sardines into small pieces before adding them to the gratin. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the dish.
  • Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will add a lot of flavor to the gratin.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. A little bit of paprika, cumin, or chili powder can add a nice touch of flavor.

Conclusion:

Spinach sardine and rice gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice and sardines. With its combination of鲜嫩菠菜、多汁沙丁鱼和奶油米饭,这道菜一定会成为全家人的最爱。
