Instructions

  1. Get your ingredients together. These include; 1 x 425 g Royal Ocean Pilchards in tomato sauce
    2 French sticks
    1 cup burpless cucumber, chopped
    1 small tomato, chopped
    5 green lettuce or purple lettuce leaves
    1 tbsp yellow pepper or pimentos, chopped
    Salt and pepper to taste
    5 coriander leaves.
  2. Separate the pilchards from their sauce. Put the pilchards in a bowl and gently break them up into medium sized pieces using a tablespoon.
  3. Add the rest of the ingredients save for the French sticks! Give a gentle mix until everything is just combined.
  4. Take the French sticks and cut each one into 3 portions. Slice each portion half-way ensuring you don’t slice it up all the way (in more or less the same manner that you do when preparing a hot dog).
  5. Place some lettuce leaves inside the sliced French sticks. Spoon the filling into each one. That’s it, enjoy!
