Nice easy recipe. I prefer tinned mackerel fillets which slot in well. Add a few toasted pumpkin seeds (preferably Styrian ones, as the quality is excellent) for a nice crunchy topping.

A lovely recipe on rotation in our household.

I use sardines preserved in olive oil with chili in it to give the recipe a little heat, and use this oil to cook the onions in. For even more heat, I add the chilis from the tin along with the sardines, then remove them right before I serve.

Great quick standby recipe. When tomatoes aren't in season I use sardines in tomato sauce. I'm funny with the bones so use boneless sardines. Also good with tinned mackerel. I sometimes add capers. The recipe is also easily halved or doubled depending on numbers eating

Very fast and full of flavour meal. I love the idea of adding fresh basil leaves. Great, cheap and healthy recipe that contributes to our daily intake of omega-3 fats.
