Tinned Fish Beginner Box 🎣 Nuri Spiced Sardines I’m finally answering my most asked question: what tinned fish should I try first? I’m proud to work with one of my favorite small businesses, Rainbow Tomatoes Garden to share an answer (though there are no wrong answers). The beginner box includes 4 tins that represent various types of seafood, countries of origin, and preparations to learn your preference. Available via RTG in my bio for $30 with the option to add a set of tunas. Nuri make my go-to sardines, the best price to value ratio in my personal opinion. Nuri is a Portuguese cannery with over 100 years of history. Expect 3-5 beautiful hand-packed pilchard sardines in neutral olive oil with their iconic spices: clove, laurel, black pepper, chili, cucumber, and carrot. Unlike the name suggests, this is on ever-so-slightly spicy so don’t be scared if you don’t prefer spicy foods. Sardine Crispy Rice and Eggs (serves 2, also on the blog) 1 tins Nuri spiced sardines in olive oil 1/2 cup long grain rice, washed 1/2 onion, chopped 1/4 cup parsley, chopped 1 cup cabbage, sliced 2 eggs lemon wedges 1. Heat a tablespoon of oil from tin of sardines in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook for a 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add rice, a few generous pinches of salt and 1 cup of water. Cover with lid, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender. 2. Uncover, increase heat to medium and stir in parsley and cabbage. Make two wells in the rice. Pour the remaining oil from the tin around edges of pan to crisp the rice. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until edges begin to turn golden. 3. Crack an egg into each well, season eggs with a pinch of salt. Top with flakes of sardine from the tin. Cover and cook until eggs are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. 4. Serve garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges. #sardines #tinnedfish #cannedfish #crispyrice
