Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - 'Hanging Out'' art theme and Sardine Pate

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date's 'Hanging Out' theme! Here is my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour pencil outlined with an acrylic marker.


 


For the Dinner Date, I made 2 different sardine pates.  The pink one is a Portuguese pate using a can of tomato sardines and the other uses sardines in olive oil.  I will be making these again these pates are nutritious and delicious!

Portuguese Sardine Pate

1 tin sardines in tomato sauce

2 tbs olive oil

1/2 small onion diced

1/2 tsp dried parsley

2 tbs lemon juice

salt, pepper to taste

3 tbs butter

Blend all ingredients together, serve with crackers.


Sardine Pate

1 tin sardines in olive oil (you can use sardines in water and add 2 tbs olive oil instead)

3 tbs butter

2 tbs olive oil (if your sardines were packed in water)

1 boiled egg

1/2 small onion

1 tsp olives, pickles or capers

1/2 tsp dried parsley

1 tsp mustard

salt and pepper to taste

1 tbs lemon juice


Blend all ingredients together, serve with crackers.
