Un-Recipe – Sardines on Crackers

It has been over 3 months since I last shared an un-recipe with you, so thought it high time to share another favourite.  I remember eating sardines on toast for Sunday evening dinners growing up.  Mom would always cook a huge roast for Sunday lunch with all the trimmings and extra so all we needed was something to top up until Monday morning breakfast.  I enjoyed this tasty snack on crackers instead of toast for a change as my lunch yesterday, half of which I had to share with my fur children – minus the crackers and vinegar that is.

Un-Recipe – Sardines on Crackers

Ingredients

Tin sardines
Vinegar
Onion finely chopped – regrettably I was a touch lazy and skipped this
Salt & pepper
Crackers of choice – I used poppyseed crackers

Method

  1. Lightly mash the sardines with the other ingredients.
  2. Spoon onto crackers.

  1. I love the idea of an un-recipe :D . This is a delicious un-recipe.

    • Un-recipes are fun, thanks. You can really go all out on this one and add some chopped parsley to the top. Have a super day. :-)

      • Ooooh, I don’t know, that sounds a little extreme for this cautious cook :D

      • Too funny Frugal! :-D

  2. This looks like the ultimate snack to settle salt cravings :D

    Cheers

  3. Sardines on toast reminds me of childhood memories of my Dad…Have a good one, Mandy. x

  4. Sometimes I love simple things like this.

  5. I had sardines on toast for my lunch just last week, but they have to be the ones in tomato sauce and I am very anal…..I remove their spines before I mash them! :)

    • Hmm, haven’t had the ones in tomato sauce for a thousand years – will pick up a tin next trip to town. Have an awesome week. :-)

  6. I think un-recipes are my favourite. And yours is a perfect lunch – for you and your furry friends :)

    • Thanks Claire, glad you enjoy the un-recipes. The fur babies were very purry after this. Have a super week ahead. :-)

  7. LIke for many others, this brings back memories. For me it´s of when my grandad was looking after us “alone” ie. my grandmother wasn´t around to cook. Once he served us cornflakes with hot water and lots of sugar as he had run out of milk. Pretty disgusting eh, but when you´re about 7 years old it´s just a great big laugh!

    • Bless old grandad. :-D Must say I cannot imagine the cornflakes with hot water, let along lots of sugar, then again…maybe when I was 7. Have a super day Tanya. :-)

  8. You know I don’t think I’ve ever had sardines. I do like the vinegar added to this. Maybe I’ll give it a shot. :)

    • I would love to hear how you enjoy it Kristy. Have a happy day. :-)
