Pâté de Sardine
I swap out liver for briny sardines in this fast and easy, but still fancy, appetizer. I adore canned sardines. In fact, I'd say I am a connoisseur of the form, with favorite brands from the United States, France, Portugal, and Spain. I enjoy them right out of the can most of the time, but this pâté is my absolute favorite way to consume them. If you happen to drop by my place for hors d'ouvres, odds are, I'll serve this stuff with thin baguette toasts for dipping. If it's fancy, we'll spread instead. Tightly wrapped, the pâté will keep for about 5 days. It doesn't freeze well, though, so...don't do that. This recipe first appeared in EveryDayCookPhoto by Lynne Calamia
