Nuri - Sardines with Olive Oil and Lemon

Indulge in the freshness of a timeless recipe with sardines in olive oil and lemon from the Portuguese house Nuri. Handcrafted in limited edition in Matosinhos since 1920, these fresh sardines (Sardina pilchardus) are carefully prepared, then steamed according to the Pinhais cannery tradition.

For this vibrant recipe, the fish is paired with premium olive oil and enhanced with a slice of fresh lemon and a bouquet of aromatics (cucumber, carrot, bay leaf, and clove). This natural infusion brings sweet and tangy citrus notes that enhance the sardine's briny taste without altering it. A perfect balance for lovers of fresh and light flavors.

• Food and wine pairing : A Portuguese white wine. Its lively freshness, aromas of white fruits, and hint of natural salinity perfectly complement the lemon, or a Chablis (Burgundy) or a dry Riesling from Alsace, whose taut, direct, and mineral structure elegantly cuts through the richness of the sardine.
