- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 45 ml

Thinly slice the onion, roughly chop the garlic, thinly slice the bell pepper and finely grate the tomatoes
-
Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in the olive oil
-
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
-
Once the grated tomatoes have slightly thickened, about 5 to 6 minutes, remove the pan from the heat, transfer into a large serving dish
-
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!
