Sardine fritters

It’s important we do what we can to optimise Vitamin D through our diet during the winter months as the sun doesn’t hit the Earth at the right latitude for the production of those rays. The richest sources are full-fat dairy products, eggs, liver and oily fish. Sardines are super-convenient and cost-effective. Buy those that are packed in olive oil or spring water. Mash sardines with avocado, lemon, salt and pepper and wrap them in lettuce leaves for a quick snack, or add an egg or two to turn it into lunch. Or make some fritters. This recipe is one of my staples.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp	Ground almonds
2 tsp	Coconut flour, or double the amount of ground almonds
1 can	Sardines, drained (Main)
1	Egg
1 tsp	Dill, dried
1 tsp	Black sesame seeds
½ tsp	Chilli flakes
1 drizzle	Coconut oil, butter, or extra virgin olive oil for frying

Directions

1. Whizz all the ingredients in a food processor until blended (or mix in a bowl).
2. Heat a non-stick frying pan and add oil when hot. Turn down to a moderate heat and cook the mixture in tablespoon-size fritters for 4 minutes until golden. Flip and repeat.
