Porthos Sardines in Hot Tomato Sauce
Rich sardines swimming in a robust, tangy tomato sauce with a touch of spice — this tin is a Portuguese classic. The heat is gentle but enough to liven up pasta, toasties, or a simple bowl of rice.
Food recommendation: Try them warmed through and served over spaghetti with fresh herbs, or tucked into a toasted ciabatta with rocket.
Wine matches: A Portuguese red like Dão or Bairrada cuts through the tomato richness; in Australia, a medium-bodied Grenache is a great pairing.
