90g

Instructions:

4. Cook the Sardines:
- Carefully add the drained sardines to the pan.

Tips:

- Make sure to drain the sardines well to avoid any excess liquid altering the dish's consistency.

- Using a high-quality olive oil can make a significant difference in the overall taste of the dish.

- Serve with a side of keto-friendly vegetables or a simple salad for a complete meal.
