Method

 

  1. Blitz the Cornish pilchard fillets with all other pate ingredients until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Then transfer into a Kilner jar. Press down to expel any air gaps and level the top of the pâté with a spatula.  

  1. Melt your butter and add in nutmeg and cayenne. Then pour over the pate to cover with a golden layer of spiced butter. Finish with a pinch of chives and some sea salt flakes. Allow to set in the fridge for 1-2 hours. 

  1. Toss your salad in a dressing and place into your sandwich with a generous spread of sardine pâté and devilled butter.
