This recipe was found by my husband during lockdown and he produced it one glorious day for lunch outside as a surprise. It is simple but really delicious and we have had it several times over the last couple of months. Serves 2.

Ingredients

Half a good sized red onion - finely chopped
2 tbsp small capers -  chopped
1 stick of celery - finely chopped
A medium handful of parsley - roughly chopped

1 tin of sardines in oil (adding a little more olive oil if needed)
2 dessert spoons of good quality mayonnaise
2 slices of sourdough for toast
Small lettuce and tomato salad to serve.

Method

1. Put the prepared onion, capers, celery and parsley in a bowl and mix together well.
   
2. Add the oil from the sardines and the mayonnaise and mix everything well.
   
3. Toast the sourdough and spread the sardines onto the toast.
   
4. Spoon the prepared mixture on top of the sardines and garnish with a sprig of parsley.
   
5. Serve with a small lettuce and tomato salad on the side and enjoy!
