I created this recipe after eating a Vietnamese sardine sandwich at a party. Sardines are a wonderfood: more nutritious, less ecologically damaging, and tastier than canned tuna. The trick is to buy good ones. Bela from Portugal are fine--inexpensive and tasty. —AnnaVanLenten

Ingredients
-
2
slices of your favorite bread
-
1
can Bela sardines (or any you prefer)
-
3 tablespoons
chopped cilantro, parsley, or arugula
-
1 handful
chopped scallions
-
1 tablespoon
mayonnaise
-
lime or lemon juice
-
salt and pepper
Directions
-
Lightly toast your bread and spread the mayo on one slice.
-
Scatter the scallions over the mayo, then lay as many of the sardines as you like over one slice of bread. Press the sardines with a fork to break them up a bit and cover the bread.
-
Layer the chopped greens over the sardines--use up as much of the greens as you prefer.
-
Over the greens, squeeze lime or lemon juice--a good amount is wise, to counter the richness of the mayo and sardines. Salt and pepper generously and top with second slice of bread.
