How to Use / Preparation

Traditional Portuguese Serving:

1. Open the can carefully.
2. If you prefer less oil, gently drain some of the excess vegetable oil into a small bowl (don't waste it—it's flavorful).
3. Place sardines directly on a plate or serving board.
4. Serve as a cold appetizer with crusty bread, fresh onion slices, or tomato.

For Hot Preparations:

1. Open and drain the can.
2. Gently heat the sardines in a small pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring carefully to avoid breaking them apart.
3. Flake with a fork if desired and incorporate into your chosen dish.

Quick Salad:

1. Open the can and drain excess oil.
2. Flake sardines into a fresh green salad.
3. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice.
4. Toss gently and serve immediately.

Arroz de Sardinha (Sardine Rice):

1. Cook rice according to package directions (pair with Camil Arroz Agulha 1kg).
2. In a separate pan, warm the sardines gently in their oil for 1-2 minutes.
3. Flake the sardines and fold into the warm rice.
4. Season with salt, pepper, and a bay leaf if desired (try Ferbar Louro Folhas 90g).
5. Serve hot.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these sardines on toasted or crusty bread, optionally topped with thin slices of fresh onion or tomato for brightness and crunch. For a Mediterranean twist, flake them into simple green salads dressed with quality olive oil and fresh lemon juice—try Azeite Virgem Extra Esporão 750ml for an authentic Portuguese finish. Mix the flaked sardines with cooked rice to create "arroz de sardinha," a humble yet deeply satisfying traditional dish. They also make an excellent topping for pizzas or savory pastries, adding briny depth to every bite. Complete a traditional Portuguese "petiscos" platter by combining sardines with Cantoliva Azeitona Preta Inteira 210g, aged cheese, and Diatosta 350g mini toasts for a memorable spread.
