Ingredients

Juice from 1/4 lemon
4-5 oz canned sardines (preferably wild-caught and in olive oil)
1 bunch of kale, stems removed and chopped roughly
1 tsp + 2 tbsp coconut oil or ghee
1/2 greenish yellow plantain, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices
1/2 avocado, peeled and cut into slices

Instructions

Open up canned sardines and set aside.
Heat coconut oil or ghee over medium heat in a skillet.
Sauté the kale leaves in the oil stirring frequently for 1 minute. Season with salt. Pour the oil or water from the sardine can over the kale and cook for 4-5 more minutes until the liquid is evaporated and the kale leaves are wilted down.
Place the cooked kale on a plate. Lay the drained sardines on the bed of kale.
Heat 1 tbsp of coconut oil or ghee over medium heat.
Place the plantain slices in the oil and cook for 3 minutes on each side until golden in color.
Remove the plantain slices and place them on a cutting board. While still warm, use a flat bottom of a mug or a bowl to flatten each plantain slice to about 1/4 inch thick.
