Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

Riesling, Albarino, and Sparkling rosé are great choices for Sardines. Strongly flavored, oily fish like sardines pair well with these crisp white wines and sparkling wine, even rosé. The Pro-Bono Riesling with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.

Pro-Bono Riesling

Crisp entry with a balanced body; rounded with a brilliant acidity.

Instructions

I used frozen cassava because it is a time saver! So no judging. In a pot with salted water cook the cassava also known as in Spanish yuca until fork tender.

Once the cassava is cooked throughly, mash it till smooth. Then add in the sardines, cheese, egg yolks, baking powder, salt, pepper, and cilantro/parsley, mix well.

Preheat oil in frying pan. With wet hands start forming balls with the sardine batter, dip it in the egg whites then roll it in the bread crumbs, use all the batter. Fry corquettes till golden brown on all sides. Let it rest on a double-lined paper towel to remove excess oil. Serve with ketchup.
