These Canned Sardines with Vegetables, known in Spain as Sardinas en Conserva con Verduras, is what simple and delicious food is all about. We´re talking a ton of great flavors, effort-less to put together and all done in under 30 minutes.

Serve this dish as a tapas appetizer or even as a main course. It works great next to some Garlic Roasted Potatoes and a bottle of Spanish wine. Either way, make sure to serve it next to a crunchy baguette, to mop up all that goodness.

What really flavors the vegetables is the sweet smoked Spanish paprika. Adding the perfect balance of smokiness and a hint of sweetness. You can also add in a little chili powder to the vegetables to give them a spicy kick.

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 45 ml
• 1 onion
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 green bell pepper
• 4 tomatoes
• 1 tsp sweet smoked Spanish paprika
• 10 black pitted olives
• 2 cans sardines in olive oil 4.2 oz / 120 grams each
• pinch sea salt
• dash black pepper
• handful fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Thinly slice the onion, roughly chop the garlic, thinly slice the bell pepper and finely grate the tomatoes

2. Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in the olive oil

3. After a couple of minutes add in the chopped vegetables, except for the grated tomato, mix every 30 seconds so everything evenly sautees, after 6 to 7 minutes and vegetables are lightly sauteed, add in the paprika, quickly mix together, then add in the grated tomatoes, the black olives (thinly sliced) and season with sea salt & black pepper, mix together and then simmer without mixing

4. Once the grated tomatoes have slightly thickened, about 5 to 6 minutes, remove the pan from the heat, transfer into a large serving dish

5. Crack open the cans of sardines, gently remove the sardines and add over the vegetables, all in a single layer, give each one a gentle flip so they´re fully coated in the mixture, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, enjoy!
