Ingredients
Lemon Anchovy Butter.
- 1/2 cup softened butter (1 stick)
- 1 2 oz can of King Oscar anchovy fillets, drained
- 1 lemon, zested, then cut into wedges
Spring Canapés with Sardines.
- 1 fresh French baguette, sliced diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices (you should get about 16)
- 2-4 red radishes, thinly sliced (preferably with a mandolin on the thinnest setting) Amount of radishes depends on their size and how thinly you can slice them, so eyeball it.
- 1/4 cup peas Fresh peas are preferred. Sugar snap peas work wonderfully. If you can't get your hands on fresh, get frozen and thaw them prior to preparing your canapés.
- 2 TBSP freshly chopped dill
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 can of King Oscar brisling sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil; two layer or cross-pack. *See notes.
Instructions
- In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the butter, minced anchovy fillets, and lemon zest. Set aside.
- Spread anchovy butter over one side of each baguette slice
- Top each baguette slice with a few radish slices, peas, and a sardine fillet. Top with freshly chopped dill and drizzle with freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Notes
King Oscar's Brisling Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil are available in a two layer pack with 12-22 fish and a cross-pack with 24-38 fish. Distribute the sardines over the crostini as you see fit depending on which tin you purchase.
