I really shouldn’t be working on recipes when I am hungry. This really is making my stomach rumble! James Martin Sardines in Pastry is a scrummy (like the chef *coughs*), healthy savoury pastry, that’s even more delicious when served with a side salad.

Notes
Best eaten immediately, but if making for a lunch box, can be made the night before. Keep chilled overnight and transport carefully! Delicious served with side salad.
Historically, for many years we’ve always thought of Friday as “Fish Friday”, as a reminder to try and eat fish once a week, on a Friday. But we thought we’d have this on a Tuesday so this fits in nicely with our “Tuna Tuesday” theme!
