Canned sardines are an easy and healthy meal option, often overlooked as a pantry staple. They can be enjoyed straight from the can or creatively transformed into gourmet dishes. Overcooking leads to a mushy texture, so sardines should be warmed rather than cooked. Rinsing them can mute their inherent flavor, losing richness. The oil in which sardines are packed enhances their flavor and can be utilized in various dishes. Sardines can be served simply on toast with seasonings like lemon zest or pickled shallot for a delicious meal.
"Sardines will turn mushy or fall apart if exposed to high heat for too long. You're not cooking them, you're warming or highlighting them."
"You'll lose all the nuance and richness. Instead, embrace it - season thoughtfully and layer textures with herbs, citrus, or a crunch of toasted bread."
