Since I get yelled at for not taking pictures, I decided to finally take snap some pics of something I've been working on for awhile.



The thing I've been working on is the Farrinata or Socca underneath that luscious Alshark 'dine. It's flatbread made from chickpea flour and little else. In this case it's the flour that I've added water to and set out to let hydrate for 5 hours. I the put a liberal amount of olive oil in a backing dish and then put the batter in about 1/4 inch deep. I sprinkled some chopped chive on top then salt and pepper. I baked it in a 350 degree oven for about 35 minutes, though I feel it needs a touch more. After it came out, I let it cool for awhile, then rubbed some garlic cloves on top and drizzled more oil on it. Then I just slapped a whole 'dine with some hot sauce on top and this is the result. I don't quite have the various elements right, but that just means the texture wasn't where I want it. The flavor is amazing and it's the perfect vehicle for a nice sardine.

Chickpea flatbread has this amazing texture where it can be flaky on the outside and almost creamy and custardy on the inside. It has a slight nuttiness to it and really picks up whatever flavor you throw at it. Chickpea flour is also cheap as poo poo, has much more protein than wheat bread, far less carbs, and a lot more fiber.

Also, for me, the best 'dine is Alshark in Spicy Oil. So amazing, such a good lightly smokey flavor, such a nice firm texture.

Anyone had John West Kipper Fillets in Sunflower Oil? Saw them today in the "international foods" section of Publix but they were $6/tin so I passed. Also, got a can of this

Mediterranean KOs are my favourite, especially to eat on their own!! The oil and 'dines give the black olives a nice flavour and texture.

I tried the cracked pepper ones, and as much as I love pepper, I hated those. It was overwhelmingly stale-black-pepper tasting. :(

hello thread, just wanted to let you know i took your advice and i just got done eating my first sardine tin

i got the king oscars with olive oil, a salted rye cracker, and some tobasco

pretty loving good. idk why i was intimidated by them. they taste a lot like whitefish salad, which is a thing i've been eating my whole life. turns out they're really oily though. is there a way i can reduce the oil or did i just not drain it enough?

edit: also holy poo poo my breath stinks. do NOT impress your date by eating sardines!!!

They are oily by nature, try eating them with something that can be good with oil like bread or else something vinegary

i used a pretty thick rye cracker and it was remarkably better when i switched from frank's to tobasco. still had a really oily feeling in my mouth 10-15m after i finished eating them.

if you guys like these things i'd recommend finding a jewish deli around you if you have them. whitefish salad, smoked sabel, and lox are all up there with this

I've never had sable, but hot-smoked whitefish, salmon, and bluefish are all goddamn delicious, so I assume sable is as well.

To your original question I usually dump my dines into a sieve for a few minutes while I get the rest of my stuff ready, it may not actually drain more oil but it's not a lot of extra effort.

I'm very much pro-gluten (as all dads should be) but I find the texture really interesting. I have thought about mixing chickpea flour with wheat flour and maybe leavening it, but it's hard to find a good recipe for this. The only one I found is 2.5 cups bread flour and 0.5 cup chickpea flour :jerkbag:

Anyway, this morning I had some leftover batter and I cooked another batch, cut out some squares, then topped the squares with thinly scrambled egg and kim chi and that was quite amazing as well.

drain the oil out before taking the deens out. that way they aren't almost dripping in olive oil when you take them out

also use bread instead of a cracker to soak the remaining oil up. toasted or untoasted. I've gone the simple route a few times and just put deens (we're of course talking KO regular, mediterranean, or jalapeņo) on a slice of bakery bread, folded it and ate that mofo. good stuff

keeping an emergency tin of dines for when i'm shitfaced sounds like a great idea, actually. i've decided that i'll buy them again but do them like once a week at most. a tin of dines is like 250-300 calories :ohdear:

They're good, but my least favorite of the KO. I like the jalapeno flavor and I like the cracked pepper a lot.

Spanish style is good too, but they're boneless/skinless, which is not my preference.

If your sole goal is weight loss every calorie counts. It's a valid consideration if you're trying to keep to 1500 a day or something. Once you're at weight (and probably exercising) the dines shouldn't be an issue for your weight though.

They're also a good mix of protein and fat that generally makes people feel full on less, making them not a bad snack for the weight conscious.

Long term they're quite a good thing to eat for your dick sucking snakes, as mentioned early on itt

A tin of sardines is calorie neutral to most people cutting calories that hard, assuming they treat it as a replacement for the fish oil capsules and scoop of protein powder they would've been having anyway. This is how I treated them on my most recent cut and it was way more enjoyable than dumb shakes and pills

If it's one of those people cutting to like 1200 calories on nothing but big bowls of rice or a soup diet then there's no hope for them anyway so they may as well eat the 'dines

I got better results keeping my carbs down to ~100g/day and eating a lot more fat than I did from strict calorie cutting, but I also lift 4x a week. Not sure how the approach would work for normies but working out more beats cutting calories by a mile imho

One more trip report for the Brunswick Sardines in Mustard Sauce, they were half the price of the Clover Leaf Brislings and so great things were not expected of them...

On their own, with a fork, over the sink... a bit blah. Texture was fine, but none of the 'meaty' taste of the Clover Leaf ones. A lot more 'fishy' smell in the kitchen afterwards. Children objected, not that I gave a drat. I changed their diapers, they can suffer some sardine smell.

So I decided to fry them in a pan, then use them as topping on a couple of over-easy eggs with sriracha and curry powder and a spinach 'salad' (=pile of spinach) on the side and that was drat tasty.

So I think I'm hooked on the deen now -- well done, thread. Time to go buy a bunch and try out some of the OP recipes. Thank you all.
