Method

By Annie Bell 

Mash the sardines in a bowl with the cream cheese, Tabasco and a squeeze of lemon, then mix in the shallot, capers and parsley. Toss the fennel in another bowl with a splash of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon and some seasoning. Spread the pâté over half the buttered bread slices, then add the fennel, close, grill or fry.
