Sardine Pâté Sandwich
A delicious sandwich that is so quick to make. It’s always good to have a tin or two of sardines in your store cupboard to make a quick lunch or picnic.
Sardines are bursting with both omega 3 which is important for brain and eye health, and calcium for strong bones and teeth. Pâté is an easy and cheap way to ensure everyone is getting enough of these two nutrients.
