This is a great pantry recipe. I used King Oscar WC Mediterranean style sardines, Maldon salt flakes, and a mix of red balsamic and red wine vinegars. Added extra basil from garden as need to use that up. I only had Kalamata olives in water and not sure if it would’ve enhanced anything much to have had them in oil. Will try that next time. Would also do some salt on tomato layer before adding the rest, just to balance the distribution. Sweet, tangy, salty, fatty. Complete taste and nutrition as a light dinner for 2.

Great combination! Happy I had everything on-hand. I added some green beans over the tomatoes, boiled in salted water till tender, cooled in water so they wouldn't overcook, then drained.
