Branston Pickle and Sardine Sandwiches Recipe

If you love sardines and the rich, tangy preserves known as Branston Pickle, your ship has come in. This is an easy mixture of sardines and pickle to spread on hot buttered toast. But it's actually a sophisticated, clever taste combination of gusty, umami flavours. And, it's an incredibly lean and healthy sandwich topping. Tip: you can skip buttering the toast, spread the mixture out on dry toast or fresh bread slices, cut in quarters and serve as nibbly bits.
