Ramón Peña Sardines in Sauce (Sardinas Guisadas) “Xoubas”, Silver Line
$10.00
Sardines in Galicia are known as “sardinas”, “parrochas”, and “xoubas”, depending on the size. Xoubas, or xoubiñas are the smallest ones.
“Guisadas” means cooked, and implies cooked with a blend of homemade tomato sauce, green or red peppers, and onion.
Sardines stewed in tomato sauce. We love all of those words. Great straight from the tin, but also a great way to turn leftover rice or pasta into something fabulous. Also pretty incredible on toasted slices of a rustic bread.
115g (4.05 oz) tin

These were really great. I’m a fan of the traditional sardines in olive oil, and was curious how these sardines “stewed in tomato sauce,” would be. I should of known that of course they would be delicious since it was Ramon Peña. The sauce was really good, and it was almost a small meal in a can (not regarding the quantity, but the abundance of flavor). I agree that serving this with angel hair pasta is probably all you need. If you’ve ever dared try one of those “Freshe,” tins from the store – this is the ultimate criterion collection edition of what they’re trying to do there. Really good no matter how you serve it if you like tomato sauces with your tins – recommend some crusty bread or over pasta for sure!

Ramon Peña hits it out of the park again! Cracking open the tin I was presented with the aromatics of the “sauce” which actually were finely chopped onions, pepper and tomatoes. The sardines were lightly floured and very tender, in fact I had difficulty getting them out of the tin in one piece. Didn’t really matter since they were the perfect consistency to place on the crusty sourdough toast I prepared. The aromatic vegetables were a wonderful complement, it reminded me of a Ferrigno ratatouille or nicoise tin but elevated to another level. The seasoning was perfect too, not too salty and the wine was a nice touch.
All in all, this tin is a hearty meal in and of itself…I imagine it would be fantastic served with angel hair pasta. Will definitely be adding this to the rotation.

Whoa. Liked these a lot, so much more than the regular Ramón Peña silver line sardines. The amount of fix’ins in the tin was exceptional -think Ferrigno levels of extras- and they added quite a bit of intrigue to each bite. The fish was medium-soft, flaky, and seasoned very well. I enjoyed it straight from the tin and didn’t find myself wanting to add anything more to it whatsoever. I would *inhale* this at an unhealthy speed if it was on crusty bread. The best way I could describe this is as an elevated Ferrigno artwork tin, and that’s quite a compliment.
