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
- Lightly mash the sardines with the other ingredients.
- Spoon onto crackers.

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

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.

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.
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.

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.
