sardines

🥗Healthier: tuna

💰Cheaper: canned mackerel

Canned mackerel is often less expensive and still provides a similar texture.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is a more budget-friendly option.

Start by seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

Dice tomatoes and mince garlic.

Prepare bell pepper, onion, and check the heat level of the pimentos (bell peppers).

If the pimentos are too spicy, remove the seeds.

Add your choice of pepper sauce for personal flavor.

Mix all ingredients evenly, breaking up the sardines as you combine them.

In a pot, heat vegetable oil and smash one clove of garlic, adding it to the oil.

Cook the garlic until it is very dark, not just golden.

Add the sardines to the pot and mix them with the flavored oil immediately after incorporating them to avoid overcooking the vegetables.

Optionally, leave the burnt garlic in for additional flavor or remove it before serving.
