Sardine Appetizer Recipes

Steps:

• Place the canola oil in a skillet and heat over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the butter, anchovies, and sardines. Cook and stir until well blended, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Place sardines in a bowl; mash with a fork.
• Add onions, yogurt, lemon juice, dill and horseradish to your taste (I use 1 tsp).
• Stir well.
• Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
• Spread 2 teaspoons over each melba toast; top with shredded carrots.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat at least 4 inches of oil in a large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven or a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F. (Oil should not come more than halfway up the sides of the pan.)
• Chop the squid fillets into small pieces and place in a medium bowl. Add the chopped onion, scallions, cheese, egg, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. Add bread crumbs into the mixture and form into 1 1/2-ounce balls. Dredge the balls in the cracker meal and lay on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan to firm. Carefully drop squid balls into the fryer and fry until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Arrange them on a platter with lemon wedges and serve with the chili lime salsa on the side.
• In a large bowl, mix chili sauce and ketchup together until well blended. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together Spread on small slices of toasted bread or crackers and garnish with slices of stuffed olives.
