Sardines in Tomato Sauce

A puttanesca-inspired sardine that punches well above its weight class. High-quality wild-caught sardines in a bright tomato sauce loaded with capers, olives, onions, and garlic — the additions transform what would already be a great sardine into something genuinely exciting. The acidity of the tomato cuts through the richness perfectly. Eat straight from the tin with crackers; no additional sauce or condiments needed. As a dedicated snack or side, this is a confident A — had it been a full sit-down meal contender, it would be S tier territory.
