Sardines on Toast with Lemon & Chilli
Tinned sardines are one of the cheapest complete proteins going — a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of chilli make them taste like a much fancier lunch.
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread
- 1 x 120g tin sardines in oil, drained
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1/4 tsp chilli flakes
- Black pepper, to taste
- Small handful parsley, chopped (optional)
Method
- Put the bread on to toast.
- Meanwhile, tip the sardines into a bowl and roughly mash with a fork.
- Stir the lemon juice and chilli flakes through the sardines.
- Pile onto the toast, season with black pepper, and scatter over the parsley if using.
