Method
Tips
- Why it works
- Mix the garlic with the mayonnaise ahead of time so the aroma spreads evenly and isn't sharp. Grate it finely to avoid lumps.
- Substitutions
- Replace the sprats with canned mackerel (60 g) or marinated shrimp (50 g). Instead of pickles, use fresh cucumbers, first marinated in vinegar with sugar for 10 minutes.
- Common mistakes
- The bread gets soggy if you spread the sauce too thickly or add wet cucumber. Check: if the sauce runs off, use less.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for no more than 1 day, in an airtight container. Assemble just before serving and don't reheat.
- Serve with
- Serve with champagne or a light fresh vegetable salad at a summer picnic.
