Sardines in Escabeche Sauce – A banca da Sardinha

The sardines in escabeche sauce from A Banca da Sardinha from Portugal are high-quality, artisanally produced sardines in colorful tins with Portugal's emblematic icon, the sardine, on the front. Modern on the outside, completely traditional on the inside.

Portuguese sardines are an absolute classic. These traditionally caught and gently steamed small fish are of high quality and impress with their special aroma. The sardines, refined in escabeche sauce, create a delicate flavor combination. Escabeche sauce has long been a classic in both Iberian and French cuisine. It is a marinade of oil, vinegar, water, onions, garlic, bay leaves, carrots, bell peppers, and spices. Fish is marinated in it and cured for at least 24 hours, similar to how we Northerners prepare fried herring.

The sardines in escabeche sauce taste delicious on their own straight from the sardine can, as an appetizer with green salad or crusty bread, or as a main course with potatoes or rice. They can be used to prepare small aperitif bites with olives or tomatoes and served with a glass of white wine. That sounds delicious and tastes just as good! Simply open and enjoy!

Canned by hand and also manually wrapped in attractive colorful paper, the Sardinha em molho de escabeche delight gourmets throughout Europe. Beautifully packaged, they make a delicious gift.
