Sardine Toasts with Tomatoes & Harissa

Sardines are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids and are incredibly versatile. These sardine toasts pair tahini and harissa for a bold, flavorful bite with plenty of depth. This no-cook recipe is perfect for a savory breakfast or a light, satisfying lunch.

Ingredients2 servings

• 4 slices thick-sliced whole grain bread, toasted
• 2 (4.4 oz) cans wild sardines, drained
• 2 tomatoes, thickly sliced
• 1 lemon, juiced and zested
• 2 Tbsp tahini
• 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 Tbsp parsley, chopped
• 2 Tbsp pickled red onion
• 1 Tbsp harissa paste

Directions

1

In a bowl, combine tahini, harissa paste, lemon juice, half of lemon zest, olive oil, half of the chopped parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk to combine.

2

In a separate bowl, gently mash the sardines with a fork until chunky. Add to harissa sauce and mix to combine.

3

Place 2 tomato slices on each piece of toast slightly overlapping. Divide sardine salad mixture between toasts and top with pickled red onion. Garnish with remaining parsley and lemon zest.

Note: If you can’t find harissa, you can use tomato paste and a pinch of smoked paprika.

Happy cooking 🥰 ☀️
