Jose Gourmet, Smoked Small Sardines in Olive Oil 90g

Fine small sardines smoked and preserved in top quality extra virgin olive oil. A treat for the taste buds.

‘The sardines turned round and round in the can. They wanted to be different from their neighbours. They fought and fought, and the discussion caught fire! Well, where there is fire, there is smoke, and smoke always gets the good-looking ones first.’

Arjamolho (Algarvian gaspacho) with smoked sardines in extra virgin olive oil 4 persons – 2 to 3 cans

Honouring the traditional Algarve recipe, peel 3 garlic cloves and grind them in a mortar with salt.
Use 300 gr of skinless and seedless tomatoes and cut into small cubes.
In a bowl, pour 100 ml of olive oil, as needed of oregano and cold water (approx. 400 ml) and 20 ml of vinegar. Add the mixture of garlic and salt with tomatoes. Cut 200 gr of homemade bread into small slices and add. Stir and serve very cold or with ice cubes with the smoked sardines.
