Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Salt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup bread crumbs, ideally made from stale bread
1 onion, chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound long pasta, like perciatelli
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons drained capers
2 cans sardines packed in extra virgin olive oil (about 1/2 pound)
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Put half the oil (2 tablespoons) in a medium skillet over medium heat. When it's hot, add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant, less than 5 minutes, and then remove. Add the remaining oil and the onion to the pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until just tender; drain, reserving some of the cooking liquid. Turn the heat under the onions to medium-high and add the lemon zest, capers and sardines; cook, stirring occasionally, until just heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the pasta to the sardine mixture and toss well to combine. Add the parsley, most of the bread crumbs and some reserved water, if necessary, to moisten. Taste and adjust seasoning, garnishing with more parsley and bread crumbs.

SARDINE TOASTS WITH TOMATO AND SWEET ONION



Sardine Toasts With Tomato and Sweet Onion image

A classic pantry meal, sardine toasts are just the thing to eat when you're starving and there's nothing in the house for dinner. If you don't have tomatoes, just leave them out. With their saline flavor and buttery texture, all sardines need is some good bread and a little crunchy onion to set them off.

Time 10m

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
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
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.

SARDINES ON BUTTERED BROWN BREAD



Sardines on Buttered Brown Bread image

In addition to celebrating the star, sardines, these open-faced sandwiches should be a celebration of good bread and butter. Choose a dense, dark European-style rye, thinly sliced, or a rustic whole-wheat bread. They look nice open-faced, but they could, of course, be made in a two-slice format.
