This is one of the best and most flavorful bruschetti I've ever had. They're basically small slices of rye bread (for extra heartiness), fried in olive oil, topped with high-quality sardines, olives, and crispy paprika breadcrumbs for a lovely flavor addition. This is all ready in no time and it's a good ace up your sleeve whenever you want to impress guests (or just treat yourself), but don't have much time.
Recipe adapted from here.
Last year: Nachos with queso blanco dip (Mexican).
Two years ago: Butter and scotch shrimps with creamy lemon pasta.
Three years ago: Quiche Lorraine (French).
Four years ago: No cooking :).
Ingredients (serves 2-3 as a starter, 1 as a main):
- 200 g sardines, ready to cook
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 2 tablespoons chopped green olives
- rye baguette slices to serve
Heat a grill pan and season the sardines with salt and pepper, both inside and out. Cook them on the grill for 5 minutes or so, until cooked through.
Fry the slices of rye baguette in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until golden on both sides.
Rub the garlic clove on them, then arrange the sardine pieces on top. Add the green olives.
Return to the frying pan which you used for the bread and add the other tablespoon of olive oil, then the breadcrumbs and the paprika. Stir well and let fry for 2-3 minutes until golden. Spoon the breadcrumbs on top of the bruschetti.
It's done, dig in! :)
