INGREDIENTS

2 tins sardines (in extra virgin olive oil)
3 teaspoons capers
1 small tin tomato purée
3 tablespoons pomegranate seeds (prepacked or de-seed a pomegranate)
1 small handful parsley
salt to taste
pepper to taste

WORK DESCRIPTION

  • Chop chicory ends off, pull leaves apart. Wash chicory leaves and parsley. Chop parsley in small pieces.
  • Mash sardines (including olive oil from tin) with all ingredients (apart from pomegranate seeds) using a fork. Scoop sardine mixture into chicory boats (about 1 tablespoon per boat). Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds. Use prepacked seeds or de-seed pomegranate (this can be a messy business – but it’s worth it). Cutting the fruit in 4 pieces helps getting seeds out.
  • Serve on large platter.
