From the original canned sardines of KALDI Coffee Farm, "Sardines boiled in water" using domestic sardines has appeared. One can contains 190g (6.7oz) and the price is 237 yen (tax included). I was also curious about the fashionable package that shines in the kitchen, so I decided to give it a try.


It contains bite-sized sardines, which are easy to use for cooking. Since it is simmered with flower algae salt from the Seto Inland Sea, it has no odor or habit even when eaten as it is, and it is recommended for salads and sandwiches.


Sardines usually eat oil sardines, and I rarely buy boiled sardines. For those who are also unfamiliar, here are some simple recipes.

■ Grilled sardines and spinach in cocotte


Fry garlic, onions and spinach in olive oil and boil the sardines in a cocotte. A gratin-style recipe sprinkled with breadcrumbs and olive oil and baked in an oven toaster. The sweetness of the thickened vegetables and the sardines go well together, making it a simple but condensed dish.

■ Sardine soup rice


Simple soup rice made by simply pouring your favorite soup stock on warm rice with boiled sardines, dried wakame seaweed and sesame seeds. Add a little sardine juice to improve the taste. It's easy to eat and you can get enough protein, so it's recommended for breakfast.

A boiled sardine can that fits perfectly in both Japanese and Western styles. Recently, mackerel cans have become so popular that they are running out of stock, so I would like to make good use of them as well.
