It's my birthday today, the longest day of the year!

Husband M wanted to make sardine burgers for grandson C. I found this recipe and used it as a guide.

4 tins of sardines (in spring water, drained)

2 eggs

1 c breadcrumbs

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 c mayonnaise

a spring of fresh tarragon leaves chopped (or 1 tsp dried)

a few squeezes of lemon juice

1/2 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp black pepper

Preheat oven to 350 F

Mix all ingredients together, form 8 burgers.

bake 30 min on one side, flip for another 10 mins on the other side.

They are delicious! It is the time of year when I can cut fresh tarragon from the garden, such a treat!
