Spanish Canned Sardines with Marinated Bell Peppers

Canned sardines, one of the best gift´s from the canned food world. They have such an amazing flavor, they´re super healthy and they´re loaded with protein & omega-3s. With that being said, I present to you Spanish Canned Sardines with Marinated Bell Peppers.


This is one of the most delicious ways to enjoy canned sardines. The dish has a beautiful & refreshing flavor, it is easy to make and uses a handful of basic ingredients. 


This is the perfect dish to enjoy on a hot summers night, yet it´s delicious enough to enjoy all year-round. Either way you go, this dish is sure to blow you away. Plus it´s naturally gluten free and low carb 🙂 .


TIPS & TRICKS to make this Recipe: Make sure to use canned sardines in olive oil. It makes all the difference in the flavor. I used sherry vinegar to flavor the marinated bell peppers, but you can substitute for red wine vinegar. On a last note, make sure to use a great Extra Virgin Spanish Olive oil. This is the base fat of the marinated bell peppers and is what brings the entire dish together.


Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:
SPANISH CANNED SARDINES
EXTRA VIRGIN SPANISH OLIVE OIL
SHERRY VINEGAR
SPANISH SEA SALT
