I recently returned from a trip to Lisbon, Portugal, and if there’s one thing I learned while there, it’s that the Portuguese love sardines. This dish, the pan-fried pantry sardine bowl, takes inspiration from the Lisboeta food scene and adapts it to common pantry ingredients.

To do so, here is my take on the traditional sangria: the Apple Spice Sangria. This beverage incorporates traditional fall flavors—such as apple and autumnal spices—but its cool temperature and refreshing taste pair well with the warm weather.
