Tinned sardines in olive oil, add optional black pepper and lemon juice to taste, mash with a fork, turns into awful-looking grey sludge, tastes wonderful dumped on wholemeal pasta.

It's my comfort food for when I have no energy to cook and need a hit of grease and carbohydrates in a reasonably nutritious form.

If I'm more energized ... I need to find a good recipe for salsa verde and try it with grilled sardines. {/thinking out loud}
