Whole sardines with five percent lemon in the tin – the summer edition from Matosinhos.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNURI Sardines in olive oil with lemon\u003c\/strong\u003e are whole Portuguese sardines, steam-cooked and hand-packed in olive oil, with a slice of lemon and salt – 125g tin with 90g of fish. No added lemon flavoring, no lemon oil: the fruit is in the tin, releasing its juice and peel oil into the fish and oil over several weeks. A limited edition variety that is only available periodically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--nl--\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSardines in olive oil with lemon from NURI\u003c\/strong\u003e solve the problem that everyone who eats canned sardines knows: the lemon is missing just when you need it. Here, it is already inside – a piece of fruit with peel, which has steeped in the olive oil until the fish takes on its flavor. The result is the brightest, freshest variety from the factory, the perfect tin for a summer evening on the balcony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFresher than the classics – and yet mild in acidity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lemon makes the sardine lighter. The fish is the same as in the mild tin – whole sardines, head-less, with skin and soft bones, firm and juicy – but the oil has a fine bitterness from the lemon peel and a freshness that lifts the fish flavor rather than masking it. At the same time, the tin remains mild: five percent lemon in olive oil is a hint, not a dressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose who know the sardine pure will notice the difference primarily in the aftertaste. With the mild variety, the oil lingers; with the lemon variety, it is the peel. This makes it the variety for everyone who likes sardines but shies away from the oily heaviness – and the variety for white wine instead of red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who love sardines in oil precisely because of that heaviness, the lemon variety is less suitable; the pure \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/nuri-sardinen-in-olivenoel\"\u003esardines in olive oil\u003c\/a\u003e are the better choice. And those who want lemon and heat together should take the spicy variety and squeeze the fruit themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOn bread, in a salad, with pasta – the lemon is already in there\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the bread, skip the lemon: white bread, butter, sardine, pepper – the freshness is already in the tin. You can eat the piece of lemon itself; it has become soft and mild, or you can finely chop it and sprinkle it over the bread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lemon sardine is right at home in a salad: with fennel, orange and olives, with green beans and potatoes, with arugula and tomato. The oil from the tin serves as the dressing; add a splash of vinegar, and it’s ready. Served warm, it pairs well with pasta with herbs – spaghetti, the lemon oil from the tin, parsley, basil, the flaked sardines, and Parmesan. And on grilled bread with ricotta and mint, it makes a great summer appetizer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs an appetizer for guests, it is the tin that looks the least like a tin: two sardines on a small plate, a spoonful of the lemon oil, a few capers, a piece of white bread – and your Portuguese \u003cem\u003epetisco\u003c\/em\u003e, a small dish to accompany the first glass of wine, is ready. If you have four guests, use two tins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat it is less suited for: tomato sauce and strong spices. The lemon gets lost in them, and you might as well have taken the mild tin. And as with all canned sardines: only warm them up, do not cook them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Take the tin out of the refrigerator an hour before eating – the lemon aroma is muted when cold, but it comes alive at room temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA limited variety from the factory in Matosinhos\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eNURI is produced by Pinhais \u0026amp; C.ª in Matosinhos, the fishing port of Porto, using the same method since 1920: only fresh fish, placed in brine, arranged by hand on racks, steam-cooked, and then individually placed into the tin by hand. In the lemon variety, the piece of lemon is added by hand before the olive oil is poured in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lemon variety is produced in limited quantities, making it one of the factory's special editions. For you, this means: it is sometimes sold out. When it is available, stocking up is worth it, because like all sardines in oil, the tin will keep for years and mellow over time – the lemon continues to infuse into the oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the end, this tin is also wrapped by hand in paper, the design of which dates back to the 1930s. The tins reach Germany via the importer Maritime Zeitkapseln from Hanau.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe summer tin – for yourself and as a gift\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lemon sardine is the tin for the evening when it is too warm to cook. Bread, salad, the tin, white wine – dinner in ten minutes that tastes like a vacation. It is the tin for a picnic, for the balcony, for a holiday apartment by the sea where the kitchen is small and the fishmonger is far away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a gift, it is the tin for people who already know NURI and have the classics in their pantry – the limited edition that hardly anyone else has. And for anyone looking for an entry point into sardines who is afraid of the \"fishy\" taste, it is, alongside the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/nuri-makrelenfilet-in-olivenoel\"\u003emackerel fillets in olive oil\u003c\/a\u003e, the gentlest tin in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not suitable for those who want sardines with tomato or heat – for that, there are the other varieties on our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/hersteller-nuri\"\u003eNURI page\u003c\/a\u003e. And if you have had the tin once and miss it later: it will come back, but the timing is determined by the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhole sardines with a piece of lemon in the tin – the summer edition from Matosinhos, while supplies last.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"NURI","offers":[{"title":"125 g \/ 90 g","offer_id":57548300747084,"sku":"048LAG036","price":6.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1058\/3903\/4700\/files\/nuri-sardinen-in-olivenoel-mit-zitrone-freisteller.png?v=1790867979","url":"https:\/\/leniundhans.at\/en\/products\/nuri-sardinen-in-olivenoel-mit-zitrone","provider":"Leni \u0026 Hans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
