Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 3 min.

Use a fork to mix 100 ml cream cheese with a few finely chopped chives.

Stage 2 - 2 min.

Add 50 ml sardines in oil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice...

Stage 3 - 2 min.

...and mix thoroughly.

Add salt if necessary (this will depend on your cheese) and pepper, then check the seasoning.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Rinse 1 red Belgian endive, cut off and separate all the leaves.

Stage 5 - 5 min.

Fill each leaf with the filling mixture (it's not essential, but a forcing bag is ideal for this).

Stage 6 - 3 min.

Top each one with a sliver of red mixed pickle.

That's all there is to it. Keep refrigerated if you'll be serving them later.

Remarks

Of course, if you don't have red endives, which have a short season, the green variety will work just as well.

Similarly, you can also change the filling and use mackerel rillettes, salmon rillettes or Oriane's tuna rillettes .

Keeping

A few hours in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
