This is a dinner that is quick and easy to prepare utilizing the greens, vegetables and herbs that are in season and readily available from your garden or your grocery store.

Sardines - high in Omega-3, vitamins and minerals plus a great source of protein. Quick and easy to prepare. In this dinner, I used canned in water sardines and already de-boned. Combine it with brown rice and black olives, greens and olives plus a fresh salad - it makes for a delicious, packed with nutrients and very healthy dinner.

A Seasonal Sardine Dinner Variation

This is a variation of the above sardine dinner. This dinner is higher in protein because I have added brown lentils to the rice.

The brown rice includes cherry tomatoes, green beans (from my summer garden and frozen for winter use), frozen store-bought beets and frozen broccoli, brown lentils and ginger, turmeric for taste. Sliced olives added before serving.

This is a quick, high in protein and delicious dinner that is easy to prepare and relatively inexpensive and very nutritious.
