Super Sardine Sub

Sardines are a great food, high in omega-6 fatty acids, are good tasting and quick to prepare and serve. The best-looking of the canned varieties are the skinless and boneless varieties that are packed in soy oil. 

Sardines are also sold packed in tomato sauce, hot pepper sauce, or in mustard sauce. Sardines packed in mustard sauce usually contain turmeric; a definite plus because of the spice’s healing powers. As they are not packed in oil, they contain less fat.

Ingredients

• 4 sub rolls or steak rolls

• 4 teaspoons light mayonnaise or horseradish sauce

• 8 lettuce leaves

• 2 cans of sardines in olive oil

• 2 tomatoes, thinly sliced

• 4 slices onion

• 2 radishes, thinly sliced

Method

 

Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or horseradish sauce over a cut roll. Top with lettuce leaves, then 2 to 3 sardines, tomato slices, onion slices, and finally radish slices.
