Five minute sardine plate
My favourite "I have five minutes" lunch.
Watch the videoSometimes the most nourishing meals are the simplest.
On busy days with no leftovers and no time to cook, I build a Nourish3 plate around a tin of good quality sardines in olive oil.
I love sardines with the bones in. They're rich in omega 3, an underrated source of quality protein, and the olive oil gives you a good dose of healthy fat. Real food for real life, in under five minutes.
The recipe
Serves 1 · Metric, with cups in brackets- 1 tin of sardines in extra virgin olive oil
- Crunchy cruditéssuch as carrot and cucumber
- A few good seed or oat crackers
- A handful of berries
- Sea salt and lemon, to taste
Open the tin and tip the sardines onto a plate with a little of their oil.
Slice your crudités.
Add a few crackers and a handful of berries.
Finish with a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt. Done.
My Nourish3 Method is simple: protein, healthy fat and fibre whenever you eat. Already a full Nourish3 plate: sardines for protein, their olive oil for healthy fat and the crudités, crackers and berries for fibre.
