Sardines in Sauce

Ramón Peña is one of Galicia’s most celebrated conservas producers, based in the Rías Baixas region of northwest Spain — a coastline renowned for producing some of the finest seafood in the world. Their Sardines in Sauce are a step beyond the classic tin: wild-caught Galician sardines packed in a rich, slow-cooked sauce of tomato, onion, pepper, white wine, and spices.

This is conservas as comfort food — the sauce is deeply savoury and aromatic, with the sweetness of slow-cooked tomato and onion, the depth of wine, and a warm spiced finish. The sardines are plump and tender, absorbing the flavours of the sauce beautifully. Serve it warm or at room temperature; either way, you’ll want good bread to soak up every last drop.
