Canned Sardines Recipe
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Here's a lovely canned sardines recipe - you can use normal toast for the kids if they don't like garlic, but I'm going to show you a novel way of making garlic bread that doesn't entail heating a whole oven.
Mashed up, tinned sardines make a fabulous sandwich and they are considered to be one of your oily portions of fish a week.
They are a good source of protein and omega oils - very heart healthy- they're also extremely tasty.
Add them to pizzas, sandwiches, quiches, pasta dishes - they're very versatile and inexpensive. Do check out the links at the bottom of the page here for more canned fish recipes - you can substitute sardines in virtually all of them.
Canned Sardines Recipes - Sardine Salad with Garlic Bread
Sardine Salad
2 120g cans sardines
8 slices bread
1 garlic clove - peeled
Salad
Olive oil
Lemon juice
1 small lettuce - shredded
4 tomatoes - sliced
1 small red onion - peeled and sliced thinly
1 red pepper - deseeded and sliced thinly
4 hard boiled eggs - quartered
salt and pepper to taste
Heat your grill and brush one side of your bread with olive oil - at this point, if you want garlic bread, then rub the clove over that side of the bread - toast until browned.
Divide your salad between four plates and drizzle a little oil over it and a twist of salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon.
Once the bread has toasted, divide the sardines between the salad
Serve straight away with the garlic bread - you can use extra dressing if you like, mayonnaise, vinaigrette, but I find just a little good virgin oil and lemon juice is fine.
You could of course use fresh sardines in this recipe - clean, split and bone the sardines, season and brush with oil and then grill for about 2 minutes either side.

Cook's Notes Just as an aside here, I had a sick dog who was completely off his food. He was an Irish Wolfhound (named Casey) and was extremely poorly and nothing would tempt him. Our vet recommended I try him with some canned sardines. Poor Casey was quite feeble, but raised his head when I took them over to him. I gave him bits off my fingers and it was the only thing he ate for a few days - several tins, but nothing else. So, if you've got pets who are off their food, try them on canned sardines to at least get some nutrition down them. |
