Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 can smoked sprats in oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 baguette
  • 2 mini cucumbers (half of an English cucumber)
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 tbl fresh dill (garnish)

Method
 

  1. Using a serrated knife cut the baguette at a slight angle. ( cut the slices to 2 quarter on an inch)
    Preheat a cast iron skillet on medium heat, then spray the pan with a little bit of cooking spray ( you can use olive oil, but because the fish is oily I prefer cooking spray)
  2. Place the slices onto the cast iron skillet and let each slice fry on each side for a few minutes till it is golden. You can also place them on a baking sheet and into the oven at 400F for 5 minutes. Watch them closely so they don’t burn. ( you can also use a regular non stick pan as well )
  3. While the toasted baguette is cooling of, to a small bowl add the mayonnaise. Put garlic through the garlic press, then add it to the mayonnaise, mix to combine.
    Coat every slice of baguette with the garlic mayonnaise.
  4. Next, cut a cucumber at an angle and put it on each slice. Cut a tomato in half then slice it into thin slices and place it either next to the cucumber, or over it.
  5. Lastly, put one sprat on every sandwich and top it off with fresh dill.
    Keep covered in the fridge until its ready to serve, best served right away.
