Ingredients
  • 116.7 g Sardines in extra virgin olive oil with sliced Spanish Manzanilla olives
  • 86.9 g West African inspired Jollof rice
  • 405.9 g Rainbow Swiss chard
  • 5g African ginger ground
  • 10g Fresh chopped flat leaf parsley
  • 100g Onions, sweet, raw
Method
  1. 01Preheat your oven to 400 deg F (200 deg C).
  2. 02Prepare the Jollof rice according to package directions, folding in half of the ground African ginger for a pungent, warming depth.
  3. 03While the rice cooks, pat the sardines dry and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. 04Roast for 10-12 minutes until the skin is slightly blistered and fragrant.
  5. 05In a separate pan, quickly wilt the rainbow chard with minced sweet onions and the remaining ginger until the stems are tender but still vibrant.
  6. 06To serve, mound the spiced Jollof rice in a wide bowl, top with the roasted sardines, and arrange the ginger-wilted chard alongside.
  7. 07Finish with a generous scatter of fresh flat-leaf parsley to brighten the deep, smoky flavors of the rice.
