Spicy Carrots Tinapa

Instructions

1. Rinse the Tamban (sardines) under cold water and set aside.

3. Mince the garlic cloves and slice the olives.
4. In a bowl, mix the salt and ground pepper.
5. Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until it's fragrant, about 2 minutes.
6. Add the Tamban (sardines) to the pan and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the sardines and set aside.
7. In the same pan, add the spiralized carrot noodles, chopped eggplant, zucchini, and tomatoes. Cook for 8 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
8. Gently mix in the sardines and olives into the pan. Season with the salt and pepper mixture. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing all flavors to meld together.
