Kefta Sardine in Tomato Sauce

Community Feedback

If you were sitting in our family salon right now, I would serve you this. Economical and incredibly flavorful. Fresh sardine fillets ground with spices and simmered in tomato sauce. Rooted deeply in our Berber and Andalusian heritage, this is more than just a dish—it's a story told through spices. Trust me, you'll need plenty of crusty bread to soak up every last drop.
