Another thing we sometimes like to enjoy with our wine and cheese lunches is a can of sardines in tomato sauce topped with quickled red onions.

A little bit of mayo spread on a slice of baguette and topped with some sardine and onions is lovely with a bit of bubbly or a crisp white or rosé.

Excess onions are a great pickle to enjoy with the salumi or charcuterie, too.

2 to 4 servings
  1. 1 (15 oz.)can sardines in tomato sauce
  2. 1medium red onion, thinly sliced (about 1/8" thick) horizontally (against the grain)
  3. 1.5 cupsboiling water
  4. 1.5 teaspoonskosher salt (1 in the beginning, and then 1/2 later)
  5. 3 Tablespoonsfresh lime or lemon juice
  6. 2 Tablespoonschopped fresh cilantro, parsley, or chives

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Pour the boiling water over the sliced onions, add 1 teaspoonful kosher salt, stir to mix, and let the onions sit for 20 to 25 minutes.
