This is a fantastic little lunch in under 10 minutes; an open faced rye sandwich with bags of flavour.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 slices rye bread
  • 140 g sardines ((tinned in olive oil, weighted out drained))
  • 5 g mayonaise
  • 1 tsp chili sauce ((I like chipotle for its smokiness))
  • 2 tsp chives ((finely cut) (reserve some for garnish))
  • 1/2 tsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Pinch black pepper
  • 30 g baby tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Toast up your rye bread on both sides, either in a toaster or in a pan. The colour won't change too much, but it will crisp up slightly on the surface and edges.
  2. Drain the olive oil from the sardines and transfer to a bowl. Break up the sardines with a fork.
  3. Add the mayo, chilli sauce, chives (reserve a little for garnish if you like), lime juice, salt and black pepper. Mix with a fork again.
  4. Cut the baby tomatoes and either add them to the bowl, or cook them for a couple of minutes in a pan or air frier. If you do the latter, they work best on top, as I've done in the photo, rather than mixed in to the sardines.
  5. Top the toasted rye bread with the sardines, tomatoes and remaining chive if you saved some for garnish.
