Ingredients

12 total
  • 2.5 cm piece ginger, peeled and chopped into large chunks
  • 1 lemongrass stalk, bashed
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 100ml rice wine vinegar (check for gluten-free)
  • 2 red onions, finely sliced
  • 400g baby potatoes, scrubbed and halved
  • 200g Greek yoghurt
  • 1 tin (approx. 120g) sardines in olive oil
  • ½ (130g) jar roasted garlic
  • 5 dill sprigs
  • 5 coriander sprigs
  • 1 red chilli, finely sliced (optional)

Method

4 steps

  1. Step 1

    To make the pickle, combine the ginger, lemongrass, sugar and rice vinegar in a small pan. Add 100ml water with a pinch of salt; bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and add the onions; leave to cool and pickle for at least 4 hrs or ideally overnight.

  2. Step 2

    Put the potatoes in a pan of salted water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 mins or until tender. Drain, then smash slightly with a fork.

  3. Step 3

    Season the yoghurt and spread over a serving plate. Top with the potatoes, then flake over the sardines.

  4. Step 4

    Put the roasted garlic and its oil in a small pan over a medium-high heat, until sizzling, then carefully drizzle it over the potatoes and sardines. Pick over the dill and coriander, and scatter with the pickled onions and chilli (if using).
