\"Sardine<\/a>If you love sardines and<\/em> butter\u00a0(and I do!) then you will really like this recipe.\u00a0 It’s quick and easy but it’s also REAL FOOD.\u00a0 I found this recipe in a gem of a cookbook bargain, on sale at Half Price books for only $2.00.\u00a0 The cookbook is Real Fast Food<\/em> by Nigel Slater<\/a>.\u00a0 His book is still popular and can be bought online, but the best\u00a0price I found was $3.38 and there probably would be shipping charges.\u00a0 I was sure lucky.\u00a0 Most of the recipes are made with REAL FOOD and the author says they can all be made in 30 minutes or less.<\/p>\n

Sardines are full of nutrients like calcium, potassium, protein, and healthy Omega 3 fats.\u00a0 My favorite way to eat sardines used to be with mustard, but I think sardine butter is my new favorite.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I did with Nigel Slater’s\u00a0recipe for Sardine Butter:<\/p>\n

Drain one can of sardines in extra virgin olive oil and use a fork to mash with about an equal amount of room temperature butter.\u00a0 It mixes very easily.\u00a0 Add a squeeze of organic lemon juice, a dash of sea salt, and freshly ground organic black pepper.\u00a0 I ate my delicious sardine butter on a sandwich made from a sliced coconut flour biscuit.\u00a0 The biscuit was made with Bruce Fife’s recipe in Cooking with Coconut Flour<\/em>,\u00a0but reducing the honey to about a teaspoon–I don’t like my bread too sweet.\u00a0 I added a slice of aged cheddar cheese, but it’s good enough to eat without cheese.<\/p>\n

Nigel Slater says that the sardine butter can be used in many ways–topping for a baked potato, stirred into pasta, or on a sandwich with sliced cucumber (that sounds good, I will have to try that too).\u00a0 It was also\u00a0good just eating by the spoonful.<\/p>\n
