Home cooking - sauteed in garlic part 2

Another fish produce I like is tuna. Flakes. In vegetable oil. In can. Also from the local grocery store or market.

The cooking process is pretty much the same. Sautee minced garlic in margarine, butter, or the vegetable oil from the can. Add minced onion. But without the tomato.

Add the tuna flakes and sautee until brown or until the garlic is almost dark brown.

Avoid over-sauteeing the garlic. You food will be in danger of tasting bitter.

Home cooking - sauteed in garlic

Among my favorite foods to cook is sardines. In tomato sauce. In can. From the local grocery or market.

The garlic freak that I am, I begin by sauteeing minced garlic in margarine or vegetable oil whichever is within reach. When the garlic starts turning brown, I add in minced onions. After a few seconds, I add in minced tomato and sautee until I believe the tomato is cooked.

Then I put in the sardines from the can without the tomato sauce to sautee further.

After much heating, I pour in the tomato sauce from the sardine can, add 1/3 cups of water and stir to a boil.

Serve hot.

Here is a meal I cooked once.

Ingredients:
1/2 kilo pork cubed
5 cloves garlic minced
1 onion minced
2 tomatoes minced
1/2 kilo potatoes peeled, cubed and immersed in tap water
vinegar
soy sauce
butter
1 pack tomato sauce (approx. 8 ounces)

Sautee minced garlic in butter. When garlic turns light brown, add onions. When garlic darkens add tomatoes. Sautee for 3 minutes or so until you are satisfied the tomatoes are cooked and the garlic is not overcooked.

Add pork and fry. Add 1 cup water. Bring to a boil then add about 2 table spoons of vinegar and 1 1/2 table spoons of soy sauce. Add potatoes.

Stir occasionally until water has almost evaporated. Sautee for 30 seconds and add 2 cups water. Boil for about 1 minute then add tomato sauce.

Simmer for about 2 minutes and you're ready to eat. :)
