Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tin (120g) sardines in tomato sauce
  • 4 slices bread
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 1/2 lemon (or a splash of vinegar)
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 10g butter (optional)
  • black pepper

Method
 

  1. Put the bread in the toaster. Have everything else ready so the toast is still hot when you assemble.
  2. Tip the sardines and their tomato sauce into a small pan. Warm over a low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently. Do not boil.
  3. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce if using, and season with plenty of black pepper.
  4. Butter the toast if using. Lay the tomato slices on top.
  5. Spoon the warm sardines and sauce over the toast.
  6. Squeeze over the lemon, add one last grind of pepper, and eat immediately.
