Equipment

  • Frying pan

Ingredients

  • 150 g plain flour
  • 4 eggs lightly whisked
  • 120 g white panko breadcrumbs
  • 8 x 60 g sardines scaled, gutted and butterflied (or anchovies, herring or whiting)
  • 70 g ghee
  • sea salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper
  • 4 slices soft white bread
  • 100 g yoghurt tartare sauce

Method

  • Start by flouring, egg washing and crumbing the butterflied sardines, being sure to leave the tails of the fish uncrumbed.
  • Heat the ghee in a frying pan over a high heat and cook the crumbed sardines, in batches, on one side for one minute, or until golden and crisp, then flip to the other side and fry for a further 10–20 seconds. Remove from the pan and season liberally.
  • Cut the crusts off the bread. Spread some of the sauce over two of the slices of bread from edge to edge, then arrange four sardines on top. Add the remaining sauce on top and then the remaining slices of bread.
  • Serve with the golden edges of the sardine showing around the edges of the bread and the little tails exposed at one end.
