Ingredients
- 2x4.37oz cans sardines drained
- 2 gherkins/dill pickles finely chopped
- 4 radishes finely chopped
- 2 shallots peeled, finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons parsley finely chopped
- 1½ tablespoons ketchup
- 1½ tablespoons mayonnaise
- Fine sea salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon juice for serving
- 4 bread slices any
- butter for spreading on toast (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl combine all the topping ingredients. Stir thoroughly and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Prepare the toast, butter it (optional), place 2-3 sardines on top and smash using a fork. Drizzle over a little lemon juice.
- Top with a desired amount of the vegetable mixture and serve!
Notes
- Use any type of canned sardines you like: in brine or oil (drain well first), tomato sauce, mustard, etc.
- I did not combine the sardines with the topping mixture but you can if you prefer. Don’t forget to add a little drizzle of lemon juice into the mixture.
- Serve with bread of your choice. Delicious especially with sourdough, rye or pumpernickel. Butter the toast lightly if you like before assembling the recipe.
- Best served immediately. Once opened sardines can be refrigerated for up to 3 days but the topping should be used on the day it’s made (refrigerate it for up to a few hours).
- Not suitable for freezing.
