Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 can (3.75 ounces) sardines packed in olive oil, drained
- 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the olive oil, eggs, and water until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough feels overly sticky, incorporate a bit more almond flour until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Shape the dough into a flatbread on the prepared baking sheet, aiming for a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
- Place the flatbread in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown. Once done, take it out and allow it to cool for a few moments.
- Meanwhile, prepare the topping by placing the sardines, Kalamata olives, capers, parsley, lemon juice, and garlic into a food processor. Pulse the mixture until it is well combined yet retains some texture. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Once the flatbread has cooled slightly, generously spread the sardine and olive topping over the surface. Slice into pieces and serve immediately.
