Sardines on toast

Canned sardines are a brilliant store-cupboard staple. All you need is some crusty bread and a few veggies to turn them into a meal full of flavour and essential nutrients.

Cook’s tip LEFTOVERS

Parsley

The extra parsley can be chopped and mashed into softened butter with crushed garlic to make garlic bread. Or freeze it in ice cube trays with water, ready to defrost and use in future recipes.
