    I made a small batch to test, and it was gone in minutes. Making a triple batch for my next party!

    I was a bit hesitant about the sardines, but they add such a wonderful umami flavor. Don't skip them!

    Easy to follow and delicious. My family loved it! I will definitely make this again.

    The key is to watch the garlic carefully. Burnt garlic will ruin the whole dish.
