Why You’ll Love This

Nuri’s rich sardines are packed in a savory tomato sauce with chili and warm spices, giving this classic Portuguese tin just enough heat to keep every bite interesting.

What Makes It Special

The sardines are prepared by hand, then paired with tomato, olive oil, chili, carrot, cucumber, clove, black pepper, and bay leaf. The result is layered rather than aggressively hot, with spice, sweetness, and acidity working together.

Perfect Pairings

Pair them with crusty bread, rice, roasted potatoes, white beans, eggs, grilled peppers, parsley, and a chilled Portuguese red or rosé.

Serving Ideas

Warm gently and spoon over rice, serve on toast, fold into pasta, add to a grain bowl, or enjoy straight from the tin with bread to capture the sauce.

About the Producer

Nuri is made by Pinhais in Matosinhos, Portugal, where sardines have been prepared by hand since 1920 using traditional canning methods.
