Day 135: Sardines on toast with basil and rocket


One of the many great things about the Easy Meals cook book is that there is such a variety of recipes in terms of the time it takes to prepare them and, indeed, cook them. I think the quickest preparation time has been in the region of 2 minutes but, for days when you have time to spend longer, there are recipes which maybe take much more. Today’s recipe, however, was one of those recipes which took the least amount to prepare and no cooking; well, as long as you don’t count putting bread in a toaster cooking! Just like everyone else, there are many occasions when I am pushed for time so today’s recipe was a very quick supper in the form of Sardines on toast with basil and rocket.

I added olive oil and balsamic vinegar to a bowl and seasoned before adding in chopped sardines along with freshly chopped basil. I gave it a mix and popped two slices of sourdough bread into the toaster. Once it was done, I gave them a drizzle of olive oil, lay rockets leaves on top and then placed the sardine mixture on top of them. Finally, I seasoned the mixture and served.

The verdict…

To be honest, I was the least bit impressed with working with the sardines. I know I’m vegetarian but they would not appeal to me in a million years! However, Dear Husband loved this recipe and gave it 9 marks out of 10! I was shocked to say the least – in a good way, of course, because I now have a high scoring recipe that takes minimal effort. Yes, Sardines on toast with basil and rocket, you are going on The List and as long as Dear Husband continues to really like this recipe, I’ll have to stock up the cupboards with more sardines.
