SARDINE TOASTS WITH TOMATO AND SWEET ONION

Sardine Toasts With Tomato and Sweet Onion image

A classic pantry meal, sardine toasts are just the thing to eat when you're starving and there's nothing in the house for dinner. If you don't have tomatoes, just leave them out. With their saline flavor and buttery texture, all sardines need is some good bread and a little crunchy onion to set them off.

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 thick slices crusty sourdough bread
1 garlic clove, halved
Softened butter, as needed
1 large ripe tomato, thinly sliced
1 can sardines (6 to 7 ounces), deboned if you like
1/4 small sweet or red onion, thinly sliced
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Fresh lemon juice, to taste
Flaky sea salt
Coarsely ground black pepper
Fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)

Steps:

Toast the bread under a broiler (on both sides) or in the toaster.
While the toast is still warm, immediately rub it (aggressively!) with the cut side of the garlic clove, then spread toast generously with butter. Top butter with tomato slices and lightly salt them.
Top tomatoes with sardines and then onion slices. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then season with more salt and pepper. Garnish with basil if you like and serve immediately.
