Instructions

1. Sauteing

Take the sardines out of the sauce and reserve the sauce. In a deep bottom pot heat 3 tablespoons of oil over low heat.Add cilantro, garlic, peppers, carrot, celery and peas. Cook and stir for about two minutes. Add half the sardines (reserve the other half), mix well.Increase the heat to medium and add the sauce that the sardines came in.

2. Cooking rice

Add water and salt to taste and bring to a boil. When it breaks the boil add the rice. Stir regularly to avoid excessive sticking.When all the liquid has evaporated, add the remaining sardines and mix. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer over very low heat.After 15 minutes uncover, stir, and add the remaining oil. Cover again. After another 5 minutes try the rice. It should be firm but tender inside. If necessary, cover and simmer another 5 minutes.

3. Serving

Remove from heat, remove the rice and place in a serving bowl. Peel off the conch and serve on the side.Serve with avocado slices.

Notes

If you can't find sardines in hot tomato sauce simply buy them in plain tomato sauce and add hot sauce to the preparation.
