Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you make canned sardine and rice patties? Start by gathering a few simple ingredients. I'm using canned sardines packed in oil.
Step 2:

Start with the rice. Rinse it well, add 3 cups of water, and set it on to cook — about 10-15 minutes, depending on the type of rice.
Step 3:

Meanwhile, finely chop the onion.
Step 4:

Sauté the onion in a skillet with vegetable oil until golden, then let it cool.
Step 5:

Once everything is prepped, put the cooled rice, the onion, the sardines mashed with a fork, and the finely chopped dill into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix well.
Step 6:

Add the 2 eggs and mix everything together well again.
Step 7:

The mixture is ready. Pour vegetable oil into a skillet and heat it up.
Step 8:

Put the breadcrumbs on a plate. With damp hands, shape the mixture into patties and coat them in the breadcrumbs.
Step 9:

Set the patties in the hot skillet and fry until golden brown on each side.
Step 10:

These fish-and-rice patties come out wonderfully tasty, aromatic, and tender. They pair beautifully with fresh vegetables and tomato sauce. So good!
Step 11:

Happy cooking, and enjoy!

You can serve these patties with fresh vegetables for a filling meal, and a little tomato sauce goes a long way here. Enjoy!
Tip: to buy the best can of fish, give it a shake before you buy — the more liquid you hear sloshing around, the less fish is inside.
