Sardines, Fried and Paste, Omega-3 healthy


Sardines, Fried and Paste, Omega-3 healthy


I don't usually eat sardines but read that they are full of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.  Because I couldn't decide which recipe to make, I chose two!  They are both served on a bed of greens.  The first, fried sardines, is in the top side of the dish with dressing on the side.  The second is a sort of paste shown on the bottom side of the dish.  these recipes are from Eat Fat Get Thin by Sr. Mark Hyman.



Fried Sardines

Ingredients:
1/8 cup almond flour
1 Can of Sardines in oil
1/8 cup olive oil
1 tsp of minced Garlic
1/2 cup White Wine
1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar

Directions:
Pour Almond Flour into a shallow dish
Roll sardines in almond flour
Heat 1/8 cup of olive oil in a small fry pan, add sardines when oil becomes hot.  Brown on both sides.
In another fry pan heat oil and cook garlic until it releases flavor. Add white wine and apple cider vinegar.  Simmer until reduced to half the volume.
Place sardines on greens and top with sauce.

Mince sun-dried tomatoes, onion and celery garlic and basil in a small food processor and pulse until minced.  Add to sardines along with vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper.

I also liked this on some gluten free crackers as an appetizer.
