Chef's Tips

This is a super quick recipe that can be put together at the last moment. Spoon onto little savoury biscuits or make your own Garlic Pittas if you have the time (see below). You could also try using canned salmon and sardines which work really well too. This combination could be used to fill baked potatoes or as a delicious sandwich filling or open sandwich.
