Sardines on toast

Sardines on toast

Migas is a traditional shepherd’s dish of fried stale bread cubes. Add some almonds, call it toast, pop some sardines on top, and enjoy.

Serves 6

Cooking Time Prep time 15 mins, cook 15 mins



6   sardines, cleaned, heads removed
50 gm   butter, melted
2 tbsp   coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsely
8   cherry tomatoes, halved and crushed
Almond migas
60 gm   (1 cup) coarse breadcrumbs from day-old sourdough
40 gm   (¼ cup) natural almonds, coarsely chopped
2   garlic cloves, finely chopped
125 ml   (½ cup) olive oil


1 For almond migas, combine breadcrumbs, almonds and garlic in a small bowl. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil and breadcrumb mixture and stir until golden and toasted (4-5 minutes). Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
2 Meanwhile, preheat a grill on high. Place sardines on a buttered oven tray. Brush butter over sardines, season to taste and grill, turning once, until just cooked through (2-3 minutes each side).
3 Add parsley and tomato to almond migas, toss to combine and season to taste. Place almond migas on a serving plate and top with grilled sardines.


Drink Suggestion A cold Spanish lager.
