Sardine sandwich
July 9, 2011 • Category: Fish/Seafood, Sandwiches
If you have a can of sardines staring at you and no inspiration, make a croque-sardines!
Inspired by the ubiquitous croque-monsieur, except my croque-sardines has Middle-Eastern flavor.
Get some rustic bread, slather a slice with muhammara, layer a few sardines; in the meantime, broil another slice with goat cheese.
NOTE: For a sardine-hummus sandwich, clickhere.
INGREDIENTS: 2 sandwiches
- 1 can of sardines (I used Morrocan sardines in olive oil)
- 6 ounces of goat cheese
- 1 small egg white (optional)
- 1 clove of garlic mashed in a mortar with a dash of salt
- 1 cup of muhammara
- A handful of arugula or any other greens
METHOD:
- Mix the goat cheese with a mashed clove of garlic and the egg white (optional). Spread on a slice of bread and toast in the oven for 4 minutes until the goat cheese is set and warm.
- In the meantime, slather some muhammara on the other slice, place the drained and wiped sardines on top and a few leaves of arugula. Top with the other slice and serve.
Muhammara recipe is available here.

Looks great, but we still have to make the muhammara from scratch. Here’s a video on preparing fresh anchovies, You could do the same with sardines. http://youtu.be/1Fu9X2HLGCU
Love your videos, very well done.

Joumana,
I love canned sardines (fresh ones too). Just yesterday I bought a huge selection of canned sardines from all over at this market nearby. I got sardines from Morocco, Portugal, Spain, countries in the Adriatic sea, Scandinavia and from here Monterrey Bay. They have their own terroir or shall I say (oceonoir) depending on where the fish was caught. I still go for basic whole sardines packed in olive oil. Sardines have lots of good for you healthy omega fats.
This sandwich looks divine. I never mixed sardine and cheese silly me….
A glass of Roussanne would do too 🙂
Cheers from the Dock of the Bay.

It looks good! I’m not sure how anything with sardines in it can be vegan though.

We should eat more sardines, but I often don’t know what to do with them. A great idea for a light supper.

I stay away from canned sardines but can I tell you that my husband LOVES them! He keeps stacks of them in the pantry. He’d love this recipe and maybe, actually, I would too.

A Middle-Eastern croque-monsieur sounds delicious! The sardines and muhammara make a great filling, and the broiled goat cheese top looks fantastic. Looks better than the original!

Never have sardines in the house – I wonder how this would be with smoked trout? Although this does look enticing enough to make me run out and get some sardines!

I love sardines, and am planning a sardine and red onion sandwich for lunch!
PS on another subject, I have never tried REAL pine nuts from Lebanon or pignolis fresh picked from Italy. What a treat…..I am stuck w/ the bagged stuff from China.

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.
However imagine if you added some great graphics or video clips to
give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and
video clips, this website could definitely be one of the very best
in its niche. Wonderful blog!
