Is the cooking time really an hour in the pressure cooker? Seems too long.
ReplyDeleteHi Succulent Mama,
ReplyDeleteYes I timed it for an hour in medium low heat to cook slow making sure the sauce absorb well and won't dry fast. It worked on this recipe. All the fish bones turns really soft and edible .
You can try 30 minutes and check if that is good enough. You can always add more minute if you want.

ReplyDeleteHi Kyle, yes you can. You can search this blog for bangus sardines for step by step direction.
ReplyDeleteHow about fresh tomatoes instead of ready made tomato sauce?
ReplyDeleteHi Vynnze, i am not about using fresh tomato. U will need the tomato sauce to make your sardines saucy, unless u make a puree out of the fresh tomato without the seeds.
