Sardine and Balsamic Tomato Panini image

Sardines are a fantastic underused food. Found this sandwich recipe in The Wichita Eagle who wrote, "The noble sardine does not get much respect in this country, although lots of older folks grew up enjoying it on crackers. In reality, it's an inexpensive, handy and healthy food to keep on hand. Here's a recipe that puts it to good use. It's adapted from "200 Best Panini Recipes" by Tiffany Collins (Rose, $24.95)."

I've made this panini several times now, and it's always a hit with my family. The kids love the sweet and tangy flavor of the tomatoes and balsamic vinegar.

This panini is a great way to use up leftover sardines. I had a can of sardines in my pantry that I didn't know what to do with, and this recipe was the perfect solution.

I'm not a big fan of sardines, but this panini was surprisingly good. The balsamic vinegar and tomatoes really helped to balance out the flavor of the sardines.

The panini was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try grilling the sardines next time instead of frying them.
