Sun-dried tomato and date pesto on baguette with arugula and oil-packed sardines

A sophisticated baguette with spicy-sweet sun-dried tomato and date pesto, fresh arugula and tender oil sardines – a Mediterranean delight that impresses with exciting aromas and crispy roasted flavor.

Ingredients · Servings 4
  • 100g pitted dates
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic
  • 100g dried tomatoes in oil
  • Cayenne pepper
  • 50 g Parmesan
  • 250 g sardines in oil

Method · 25 min
  1. Dice the dates. Peel the garlic. Place both in a tall container with the dried tomatoes, the pickling oil, a pinch of salt and cayenne pepper, and blend until smooth.
  2. Grate the Parmesan cheese finely and fold it into the pesto.
  3. Clean, wash, and spin-dry the arugula. Cut the baguette diagonally into thick slices and toast the cut sides on a hot grill or in a grill pan.
  4. Generously spread the grilled baguette slices with pesto. Distribute arugula and sardines on top.
