Hi Radiants,
This recipe happened because of a craving.
One day, I felt like eating sardines with bread, but I didn't want the usual sardines straight from the tin and spread on bread. I wanted something a little richer, creamier, and more interesting.
So I started experimenting in the kitchen with what I already had at home.
I wasn't even sure the kids would like it.
I don't make sardines very often for them because I vaguely remember trying it once in the past and not getting a very enthusiastic reaction. This time, however, I thought that if I turned it into a sandwich-style spread, they might enjoy it more.
To my surprise, they did.
I've made it twice already, and it has become one of those quick meals that comes together easily when I don't feel like cooking something complicated.
Ingredients
- 2 tins of sardines (I used one with pepper and one without pepper)
- Margarine
- A little vegetable oil (optional)
- Onion, finely chopped (optional)
- Salt to taste
- A little Maggi seasoning
- Pepper (optional)
Method
Remove the sardines from the tins and place them in a bowl.
Mash them lightly with a fork. Don't mash them completely into a paste. I like leaving some small pieces so you can still feel the fish when eating it.
Add the margarine and mix it into the sardines.
If the mixture feels too dry, add a little vegetable oil. Depending on the brand of sardines you use, some come with plenty of oil while others are much drier.
You can also add a tiny splash of water if needed, but only a little.
Season with salt and a little Maggi to your taste. If you're using plain sardines and want some heat, you can also add pepper.
Finally, add the finely chopped onion and mix everything together.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Spread generously on bread and enjoy.
How We Ate It
The first time I made it, it was simply because I was craving something different.
We had it with juice, and it was exactly what I wanted that day.
The second time, I made it again because everyone had enjoyed it. It ended up being one of those lazy-day meals when I didn't feel like cooking a full meal.
What I like most about it is that it's simple, filling, and uses ingredients that are usually already in the house.
The bread fills you up, the sardines add protein, and the spread feels a little more special than plain sardines on bread.
It's perfect for breakfast, but it also works well as a snack or a light lunch when you want something quick and satisfying.
If you try it, let me know how you customize yours. I have a feeling this is one of those recipes everyone makes a little differently.
