Here’s a good starter recipe, maybe for your next BBQ party! Today we’ll prepare a wonderful spread with sardines, cheese, and coriander.
An easy, quick spread recipe that is both fragrant and creamy, best served chilled as an aperitif. Depending on the consistency you want, you can use this as a spread or a dip. Start with fresh, mild, unflavored Philadelphia cheese.
Other cheeses you can use: fresh ricotta or feta (you’ll need to use a food processor). Usually best served on toast!
