I rarely use canned products but fresh sardines are hard to come by. Sardines are loaded with nutrients, so it is worth the trade-off! They are a great source of omega-3 fats, vitamin D, vitamin B12 and selenium. If you do find fresh sardines, they taste delicious grilled!
INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp/15 g ghee
½ sweet onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
8 oz/227 g of canned sardines, drained and mashed
½ cup/115 g avocado (about 1 medium avocado)
3 tbsp/44 ml fresh lemon juice
½ tsp lemon zest
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
cucumber slices for dipping
