Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by slicing each pickle in half lengthwise to create 12 halves. Carefully scoop out the seeds and some of the flesh from the center of each pickle half to create a small boat. Be careful not to scoop too much or the pickle boats may lose their structure.
- Open the can of sardines and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer the sardines to a mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake the sardines into small pieces to ensure a smooth filling.
- Add the mayonnaise to the bowl with the flaked sardines. Mix in the dill (either fresh or dried), salt, and black pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture has a creamy consistency.
- Using a spoon, carefully fill each pickle boat with the sardine mixture. Make sure to distribute the filling evenly to create uniform boats.
- Arrange the filled pickle boats on a serving platter. Garnish with extra dill if desired for a touch of added freshness and visual appeal. Serve immediately and enjoy these low-carb, keto-friendly snacks!
Tips:
- Make sure to drain the sardines well to prevent the pickle boats from becoming too soggy.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice to the mayonnaise mixture.
- If fresh dill is not available, dried dill can be used, but be sure to adjust the quantity to avoid overpowering the other flavors.
- Use a melon baller or a small spoon to hollow out the pickles more easily.
- To make the boats more visually appealing, garnish with a small sprig of dill on top before serving.
These low-carb keto sardine pickle boats are not only quick and simple to prepare but also packed with flavor and nutrition.
