Piquillo Pepper and Sardine Tartines image

Provided by Jeanne Thiel Kelley

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 1/3-inch-thick baguette slices, cut on diagonal into 3- to 4-inch lengths
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, peeled, halved
1 1/2 3.75-ounce cans skinless boneless sardines (preferably wild-caught) packed in olive oil, drained well
Sriracha sauce or other hot chili sauce (optional)
Fresh lemon juice plus lemon wedges for garnish
Very thin onion slices
1 1/2 tablespoons (about) drained capers
12 thick strips piquillo peppers or roasted red peppers from jar, drained

Steps:

Preheat broiler. Brush both sides of each bread slice lightly with olive oil. Arrange bread slices on small baking sheet. Broil until beginning to color, about 1 minute per side. Rub 1 side of each bread slice with cut side of garlic and cool.
Place bread slices, garlic side up, on serving platter. Divide sardines among bread slices. Spread out sardines in thin layer. Sprinkle a few drops of sriracha sauce over each, if desired, then a few drops of lemon juice. Top each tartine with onion slices, several capers, then strip of drained piquillo pepper. Garnish platter with lemon wedges and serve.
What to Drink:
With the tartines, pour a refreshing Albariño, a white wine from Spain. We like the Carballal 2008 "Sete Cepas" from Rías Baixas ($15). The wine's mineral notes are balanced beautifully by stone-fruit flavors.

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 thick slices crusty sourdough bread
1 garlic clove, halved
Softened butter, as needed
1 large ripe tomato, thinly sliced
1 can sardines (6 to 7 ounces), deboned if you like
1/4 small sweet or red onion, thinly sliced

Fresh lemon juice, to taste
Flaky sea salt
Coarsely ground black pepper
Fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)

Steps:

Toast the bread under a broiler (on both sides) or in the toaster.
While the toast is still warm, immediately rub it (aggressively!) with the cut side of the garlic clove, then spread toast generously with butter. Top butter with tomato slices and lightly salt them.
Top tomatoes with sardines and then onion slices. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then season with more salt and pepper. Garnish with basil if you like and serve immediately.
