Cooking with Susan

For lunch today we had Sardine Bruschetta with onion marmalade and salsa verde.  Okay, yes, it's just glorified sardines on toast but the 'glorious' part - the onion marmalade and salsa verde - make it just that little bit special.

who needs a food processor

It's really easy.  Slice an onion and while that is simmering away to make marmalade I make the salsa verde.  I don't mess around with a food processor (too much washing up), I just chop the herbs (today I used flat parsley, oregano and lemon thyme)

and stick them in my tupperware pot with a crushed garlic, some olive oil and white wine vinegar and give it all a good shake.

Any unused dressing stays in the tupperware pot and goes in the fridge. 

Then it's just a case of grilling some crusty bread and opening a tin of sardines in tomato sauce.  Smother the bread with the onion marmalade, lay the sardines on top, splash the salsa verde over and serve on a bed of lettuce.   Voilal!

Crikey that looks disgusting! Tasted better than it looks!

Paul wants to know why the camera is covered in parsley and olive oil...
