Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices artisan bread
- several cloves garlic
- olive oil
- 1 whole avocado
- 1 small red onion
- 1 can sardines packed in tomato sauce
- olives
Instructions
- Rub each slice of bread with a cut garlic clove.
- Toast under the broiler until lightly browned, then remove and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
- Cut your avocado in half, remove it from its skin, and slice crosswise into semi-circles.
- Cut your onion into thin half-circles.
- Arrange the canned sardines evenly over both slices of bread.
- Alternately layer on the avocado and onion.
