Ingredients
- 2 cans (3.75 oz each) canned sardines in olive oil
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 1 teaspoon (optional, for smoother texture) olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Drain the sardines and add them to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Reserve a little bit of the oil from the can, if desired.
Step 2
Add the cream cheese, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and capers to the bowl with the sardines.
Step 3
Using a fork or a food processor, mash and combine the ingredients until smooth. For a chunkier texture, mash by hand; for a smoother texture, use a food processor and optionally add a teaspoon of olive oil.
Step 4
Stir in the chopped parsley, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 5
Transfer the pâté to a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, though it can also be served immediately.
Step 6
Serve with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetable sticks. Enjoy!
