Sarah Wilson shares one of her favourite seafood recipes. Perfect as an appetiser or snack.
I love sardines. They’re a sustainable fish, dirt-cheap and super-healthy. Forget the tinned ones – buy fresh and tuck into this recipe. You can use toast instead of witlof if you wish. They make great hors d’oeuvres, too.
Ingredients (serves 2)
- 6 sardine fillets
- ½ cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 mild chilli, finely chopped
- Juice and grated zest of ½ lemon
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup cream cheese
- 1 witlof
METHOD
In a pan grill the sardines on both sides over a medium heat with a little oil. Transfer to a small bowl and smash together with the parsley, chilli to taste, lemon zest and juice, and oil. Pull apart the witlof and top with a spoonful of cream cheese and some sardine mixture.
