Description
A simple recipe for a flavorful Portuguese-style sardine pate using canned sardines.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (4.75 ounce) can sardines in oil, drained
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small shallot, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Place the drained sardines, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced shallot, and parsley into a food processor.
- Pulse the mixture several times until it reaches a coarse, spreadable consistency. Do not over-process; some texture is desirable.
- Scrape down the sides of the processor bowl if needed.
- Add a pinch of black pepper and pulse once more to combine.
- Transfer the pate to a small bowl and chill for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Serve the pate with crackers, crusty bread, or vegetable sticks.
- If you prefer a smoother pate, process the ingredients for a longer time.
- You can substitute canned sardines packed in water for those packed in oil, but add 1 teaspoon of olive oil for richness.
