Sardine pate is something of a Portuguese speciality and it is absolutely delicious. Th funny thing about Sardine pate is that it looks pretty uninspiring but when you taste it you really do realise that looks aren’t everything.

In Portugal, sardine pate is one of the small dishes that is served before a meal with olives and a lovely bread which is unique to Portugal. If you are like me though, theses petisco plates as they are often called are so beautiful that I end up eating so much that I am full for the main course.
