Varina Sardines in Basil Olive Oil with Sweet Chili Pepper + Spicy Smoked Paprika

One of the cool things about the Varina brand is that each can is a recipe by a different local chef, named on the front of each can. These sardines are packed in high-quality basil-infused olive oil and seasoned with a blend of sweet chili pepper and spicy smoked paprika. The combination creates a balance of herbal, sweet, and smoky notes with a mild heat. The fish are meaty and tender. Get into these straight from the tin alongside some Manchego cheese, Marcona almonds, and pickled vegetables for a Iberian-inspired snack platter.
