First, boil up some potatoes. Or just bake one in the microwave.
(Please be sure to go for organic ones! Spuds are some of the most porous and vulnerable absorbers of nasty chemicals. Unlike some veg, you can't wash off the scary stuff -- they grow underground, which means they soak up everything that seeps into the soil!)
In the meantime, mash together (per person/serving):
- 1 can sardines in oil (drained)
- a dollop of mayo
- a squeeze of lemon juice
- generous shakes of garlic, paprika, and dill
- some finely chopped onions, if you're not afraid
- some finely chopped pickles, if you're me
Stir everything into a lovely sardine salad. Mash up a nice potato base on your plate. Top with fishmash.
Fresh tomatoes are delicious here, too -- just sprinkle them chopped on top or sliced between the layers.
(This is also excellent as a sandwich!)
I like to add a pile of spicy cooked spinach or a lamb's lettuce salad.
