1. 1

   Heat the Olive Oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until shimmering.

   Stir in the garlic plus the ras el hanout, ground cumin and ground cinnamon; toast for about a minute until the kitchen smells incredible.

4. 4

   Add the sardines, turning every piece through the spice base so it's fully coated, and sear lightly.

5. 5

   Pour in the tomato puree, bring to a gentle bubble, then cover and simmer until the sardines is tender.

6. 6

   Uncover and reduce until the sauce clings to a spoon. Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon.
