Sweet and Sour Sardines on Toast
The humble sardine in an easy to make canape! High in protein, and omega-3. Most of all, they are delicious. One of the best ways to serve them is on toast. Watch Justine give this Sweet and Sour Sardines on Toast recipe a Sicilian twist by adding a sweet and sour component using currents and pickled onion. Everything on toast is so easy, and sardines on toast is no different.
Sweet and sour sardines on toast with pickled onion and pecorino cheese offer a deliciously complex flavour profile. The rich, briny taste of the sardines is the star, providing a savoury, umami-packed base. This is balanced by the sharp tang of pickled onions, which cut through the oiliness of the fish and add a refreshing acidity. Pecorino cheese contributes a salty, nutty undertone that complements the sardines while adding depth and creaminess. The crunch of the toast ties everything together, creating a satisfying contrast in texture and delivering a well-rounded bite of bold, bright flavours.
Tips
Be sure to use Safcol Sardines in Springwater in this recipe as the oil component is already in the mayonnaise
