Portuguese Sardine & Cottage Cheese Toasts
Method
Toast the wholegrain bread until lightly golden and crisp.
Place the cottage cheese in a small bowl and stir in the lemon juice, black pepper and half of the chopped parsley.
Spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices.
Break the sardines into large pieces, removing any unwanted bones if preferred.
Arrange the sardine pieces over the cottage cheese.
Scatter the diced cherry tomatoes and roasted red pepper over the top.
Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, dill and the remaining parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
Pat the sardines lightly with kitchen paper if they are very oily before placing them on the toast. Assemble the toasts just before serving so the bread stays crisp and the cottage cheese remains fresh and creamy.
