SARDINES ON TOAST
Many people are averse to the smell, taste or look of sardines, but this recipe combines them with equally robust and tasty flavours, making this version of sardines on toast appealing to those who may be apprehensive about eating them. Serves 1
INGREDIENTS
1 x 105g tin of sardines, ideally in extra virgin olive oil
2 heaped tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
6-8 cherry tomatoes, chopped in quarters
¼ red onion, diced finely
1 heaped tablespoon of hummus or 50-80g of marinated goat's feta
Freshly squeezed lemon juice, to taste
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1 thick slice of grainy bread or sourdough, toasted
1 teaspoon capers (optional)

Add parsley, onion and hummus and mix to combine.
Add tomatoes, lemon juice and pepper and gently fold through.
Heap onto toasted bread. Add more pepper and lemon juice if desired.
