Ingredients
Ingredients
- 120 g can of sardines (90-100 g drained, solids)
- 4 sun-dried tomato halves (preserved in oil, not the dry ones)
- 1.5 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chopped spring onion (or red onion)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (or Sriracha, optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all the ingredients into a food processor or a medium bowl if using an immersion blender stick.
- Blend the Mixture: Blend until just smooth, pulsing several times. Be careful not to over-process; scrape the sides intermittently to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Serve: Transfer the pâté to a serving bowl and enjoy it with crisp breads, sourdough, sliced vegetables, low-carb or paleo crackers, or use it as a filling in wraps and salads.
Notes
- Use sun-dried tomatoes preserved in oil for richer flavor and better blending results.
- Adjust hot sauce quantity to suit your spice preference or omit completely if sensitive to heat.
- Mayonnaise adds creaminess; substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Great as a protein-packed snack or appetizer.
