For the five-minute dinner — fideos, rice, bread

The same local mackerel, packed in tomato — which is how much of Argentina actually eats it.
The other half of the caballa shelf: the same fish packed in tomato sauce, which is how much of Argentina actually eats it — tipped over fideos, stirred into rice, or eaten straight from the tin with bread when nobody is watching. It is the rare tin that is a complete dinner rather than an ingredient, and the version of caballa most Argentine pantries restock first.
How to use it
Warm it gently and tip it over spaghetti or short fideos, stir it through rice with a little of the sauce, or eat it cold with bread and no apology.
Ingredients
Chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus), tomato sauce, salt. Final panel follows the producer’s recipe.
In development. The conservas line is being sourced from the working canneries of Mar del Plata under our own label. No producer is named until an agreement is signed and the first lot has cleared our own tasting.
Shelf-stable. Cooked and sealed in the tin — pantry, not fridge.
