Brazilian Sardine Pate
Have some canned fish in your pantry and don’t know what to do with it? Well, you can try this delicious sardine pate directly from my mom’s recipe book!
Ingredients
- 1 3.5 ounces (100 grams) can oil-packed sardines, drained
- 10 olives, chopped
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- Chives and coriander to taste, minced
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/2 cup (115 grams) mayo
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove the sardines from the cans. Using a small, sharp knife, carefully open each one down the belly and back, folding them open to expose the backbone. Remove and discard the bones. Cutaway and discard any tails.
- If you prefer, you can use the whole sardines, too. It’s up to you.
- Transfer the sardines to a medium bowl and mash them with a fork until it is a smooth paste.
- Add the chopped onion, olives, minced chives and coriander, and mix well.
- Next, add the lime juice, mayo, and olive oil and mix it well until smooth. For reference, three tablespoons of fresh lime juice are about a lime.
- Now, add salt and pepper to taste, give it a final stir, and transfer the sardine pate mixture to a serving dish.
- Refrigerate for about an hour and serve it cold–it tastes divine! Don’t forget to use plastic food wrap to cover the serving dish.
- Serve your sardine spread on a toast or in a sandwich.
