Sardine Cheese Spread Recipes

PâTé DE SARDINE

Pâté de Sardine image

I swap out liver for briny sardines in this fast and easy, but still fancy, appetizer. I adore canned sardines. In fact, I'd say I am a connoisseur of the form, with favorite brands from the United States, France, Portugal, and Spain. I enjoy them right out of the can most of the time, but this pâté is my absolute favorite way to consume them. If you happen to drop by my place for hors d'ouvres, odds are, I'll serve this stuff with thin baguette toasts for dipping. If it's fancy, we'll spread instead. Tightly wrapped, the pâté will keep for about 5 days. It doesn't freeze well, though, so...don't do that. This recipe first appeared in EveryDayCookPhoto by Lynne Calamia

Ingredients

2 cans oil-packed sardines (about 4 ounces each)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 large shallot, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or dill

Steps:

Dump the sardines and their oil in the bowl of a food processor, along with the butter, shallot, and lemon juice, and process until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons of the herbs and pulse 2 or 3 times.
Pack the pâté into a small ramekin (or back into the sardine cans). Smooth with a spatula, then top with the remaining 1 tablespoon hers. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm the texture.

This sounds horrible, but it's really good. I like it on celery sticks. This should be cold when served.

SARDINE PATE OR SANDWICH SPREAD

Sardine Pate or Sandwich Spread image

This Scandinavian-inspired spread is wonderful on dense, thin-sliced pumpernickel bread or whole grain crackers. Sardines are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids, known to help reduce risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and cancer.
