Spread Essentials Sardine Pâté Recipes

SPREAD ESSENTIALS: SARDINE PâTé

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. My favorite tin of sardines is Wild Planet, packed in extra virgin olive oil and a bit of lemon. If you want to cut back on the oil, you can always go with the ones packed in water, they are both great tasting, and sustainably caught in the cold waters of the North Pacific. FYI: Sardines are high in omega 3 oils, and that is a good thing.
• 3. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 4. Mix all of the ingredients together in a non-reactive bowl (like glass), cover and place into the fridge for an hour or two.
• 5. PLATE/PRESENT
• 6. Serve on crackers or toast points. Enjoy.
• 7. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
