Avocado and Sardine Toasts

This is SO up my alley. I adore fat and this is chock-full of healthy and delicious fat. Yesterday, hypnotized by Jennifer Hudson’s airbrushing weight loss ads, I paid for a 3-month membership to a diet plan that hates fat. I am of course regretting this, so now I rebel.  Diet schmiet.

And if you’ve never had sardines, don’t fear — they’re very similar (though a bit richer) to tuna.

Avocado and Sardine Toasts
Recipe adapted from Alton Brown
Serves 1

Here’s what I used:

• half an avocado
• 2-3 ounces of sliced whole wheat ciabatta
• 1 tin of sardines, drained
• crushed red pepper flakes
• salt, pepper
• olive oil
• lemon
  

Here’s what I did:

1. In a small bowl, mash the avocado along with some salt, pepper, a pinch of crushed red, and a squeeze of lemon.
   
2. In a separate small bowl, mash the sardines.
3. Toast some bread, and smear with the mashed sardines first, then the avocado on top. Drizzle on a little olive oil and enjoy.
