Step 1
1. The first time I tried a sandwich with pâté made from canned fish was at one buffet reception. I was surprised even then that such a simple dish was served at a formal event. This sandwich with pâté is very easy to make. First, hard-boil the eggs and let them cool.

3. You can use any canned fish you like. This time I decided to use sardines with added oil. Remove the fish from the can so that as little oil as possible goes into the blender. Remove all unnecessary bones and add the sautéed onion to the blender bowl.

8. For sandwiches, black bread works best (but a white loaf is fine too). Slice the bread into neat halves (triangles) and spread the pâté on top.
