Sardine Stew in a Flash

Sardines have been rediscovered in the West. Years ago, our Victorian ancestors considered them haute cuisine, and served them at dinner parties in fancy crystal and silver sardine servers. More recently, they have gained favor because they are filled with protein, minerals, vitamins, and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Yet they remain inexpensive, and can be conveniently stored in cans on the shelf next to cans of tuna fish. They are already cooked, and have a mild, pleasant flavor.
