Sardine
Rillettes 4_12_12
I date
myself when I say the one-liner, ‘everything tastes better when it sits on a
ritz’. I can't help
it, that catchy advertiser for Ritz crackers is from, what, the 80’s-90’s? So I used a whole grain cracker to hold the sardines though a lettuce wrap or pita would be good also,
but I didn’t have those on hand. So I
mounded the cracker with what I called ‘poor man’s tuna fish’. I added the cornichons to the mix and thought
it added taste and texture. We didn’t
wait 2 hours to munch on these but ate them straight from the bowl. No fancy presentation here! Husband loved it. I liked it.
Son and Nephew nowhere around to taste this, but I think Nephew would
like it, Son not so much (a pattern here?). This might be good formed into a
ball and rolled in something, maybe shredded cheese. This would make a nice addition to an
assortment of appetizers.
Surprisingly
tasty.
Sounds like it went over pretty well at your house. I do like sardines, so I didn't need to be convinced.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it...on a Ritz!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I wasn't so much team sardine, so I am enjoying the posts of people who leaned toward liking this one.
ReplyDeleteAnd almost everything is better on a Ritz :-)
I did have mine on buttery crackers! It definitely added to the enjoyment :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed this one….I chose not to make it….no sardines for me!
ReplyDeleteKathleen, I've never heard that Ritz jingle. I like it. I like it. Didn't especially love the Sardines Rillettes. Glad you did. Mary
ReplyDeleteI never heard that jingle either, but I love Ritz crackers. Funny, but hubby mentioned them
ReplyDeletethe other day and while shopping I picked up a box.
After eating half a sleeve of these little morsels, I remembered why I don't like to
have them around. They are so delicious, I can't stop eating them with or without
toppings. We enjoyed this recipe, but we also love sardines.
I think I would have liked these more with cornichons in the mix. They look great served as an appetizer. Glad they were a hit for you and your family!
