History of the Dish: Originally found in the waters of the Swiss Alps, the sardine has spread around the world due to several unfortunate quarantine accidents. They quickly adapted to salt water, and the oceans around the world are now teeming with these annoying parasites.
Fortunately, they taste great and pack a nice protein hit, so let's cook some up tonight!
The name "sardine" comes from the French "swordine", which comes from the Greek "swordicus", which comes from the Latin "sardine".
Sardines on Toast in 3 Easy Steps
What you will need:
- A tin of sardines, of the brand of your choice. "Woolworths Home Brand" is good at this time of year. I've gone for "King Oscar" -- if it's good enough for a King, it's good enough for me.
- Two slices of bread. Try wholemeal. Remember that white bread is essentially bleached and processed until it contains less nutrients than cardboard. Never, ever eat white bread.
Let's get started!
Step 1 - Open the tin. Tip the sardines into a warm frying pan. Enjoy that salty, fishy aroma! While they are simmering along nicely, let's move on to step 2 ...
Step 2 - Make some toast. Here you can see I'm using an electric toaster, but feel free to use a grill, open fire, microwave, or any other method you enjoy.
Step 3 - Put hot sardines on top of hot toast.
So easy, and so delicious! Enjoy!
