SARDINE BUTTER
Amazingly easy and super delicious!!!!!!!!!!
- 150 ml salted butter, slightly softened
- 1 can good quality sardines, packed in oil (either use boneless or debone yourself)
- juice of ½ a lemon
- about a tablespoon of minced chives or capers
- freshly ground black pepper
Place the softened butter in a medium bowl. Drain the sardines, and add them to the bowl.
Use a fork to mash the butter and the sardines together. Add the lemon juice.
Keep mashing until incorporated. At the last minute, add the chives or capers, and some black pepper.
Move the butter to a ramekin, or roll it in plastic to form a log.
Refrigerate it for at least an hour or so.
Serve the sardine butter with toast.
