The ingredients
Listed major allergens: Fish, Wheat. Check every package and your own requirements. This is not a cross-contact or allergy-safety certification.
Let’s make it
- 01
Wash the produce. Shave the fennel, peel and segment the orange, and finely chop the dill.
- 02
Mash the white beans with olive oil, lemon juice and black pepper until spreadable, leaving a little texture.
- 03
Toast the bread. Spread each slice with beans, then add the drained, ready-to-eat canned sardines. Keep their soft edible bones if comfortable; these are part of the calcium contribution.
- 04
Top with fennel, orange and dill. Serve promptly on a platter with extra lemon.
For a gathering, cut each toast in half and arrange on a narrow platter.
Make tomorrow easier
Make the bean spread ahead and chill. Toast and assemble just before serving so the bread stays crisp. This recipe contains rye and wheat gluten. Refrigerate perishable foods within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F). Use refrigerated cooked leftovers within 3 to 4 days; freeze later-week portions. Reheat cooked leftovers to 165°F. Food storage guidance.
Sardines contribute B12 and, when their soft edible bones are retained, calcium. Beans bring folate and fiber. Check sodium on the canned fish and bread; choose products that fit your individual needs.
