With their delicate tenderness, canned sardines are ideal for this robust Mediterranean stew. This recipe first appeared in our April 2014 issue with Mary Sue Milliken's story Forgotten Fish.

Instructions

Step 1

Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a 12″ skillet over medium heat. Cook panko until golden, 2–3 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Add remaining oil to skillet; set over medium-high heat. Cook garlic, carrots, celery, salt, and pepper until soft, 1–2 minutes. Add tomatoes, beans, and sardines; cook, stirring to break up sardines, until stew is slightly thick, 8–10 minutes. Garnish with reserved panko and the parsley.
