This simple recipe will appeal to all those who are not afraid of lavish combinations: True to the motto “mixing is possible”, we tried a tapenade with three types of fish – sardine, anchovy and tuna. A delicious combination full of Mediterranean flavours that transports us to the south even in the darkest winter... perhaps on the deck of a small sailing boat rocking in the harbour, or on a terrace in lavender-covered hills, while the crickets chirp around us, the sun shines on our heads and we enjoy a small aperitif with friends... Ingredients for 6 - 8 servings 1 can of sardines (eg Sardinettes ) in water, drained 1 small can of anchovies (approx. 56g), drained and soaked in milk for 10 - 15 minutes to desalinate them 1 can tuna in water , drained 1 garlic clove, roughly chopped 1 small shallot, roughly chopped 1 handful of black olives, pitted freshly ground pepper 1 tsp mustard 1 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp dry sherry rosemary Blend all the ingredients with a hand blender, fork or in a mortar until you have a coarse paste. It's best not to blend it too finely - it looks nicer and the consistency is also finer if you keep a few pieces of fish and olive. Serve in a nice bowl with crackers, raw vegetables or toasted bread. Also delicious on homemade bruschetta, with grilled vegetables or as a filling for tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, eggplant... Best enjoyed with a strong red wine – Bon appétit! Garlic and rosemary give the recipe a spicy, southern note, while the dry sherry elegantly rounds it off and adds an interesting twist. Depending on your preference, one fish or the other may dominate.

Our friend and regular customer Christian Lohse - one of the most interesting chefs in Germany, and chef de cuisine at Fischers Fritz - has published a wonderful cookbook with Umschau Verlag, which bears the absolutely appropriate title "Lohses Mundwerk". It contains recipes for soups and stews from all over the world. In the middle of this illustrious collection he smuggled a recipe for sardines in olive paste - "not a soup but also awesome". Which brings us back to the mouth of the mouth and our recipe of the week!

Who said that we always have to do French? Asian cuisine in particular knows many dishes with fish and we like to be surprised! This week, our head chef Thomas Vetter was inspired to create a culinary encounter that is perhaps second to none: there are fresh summer rolls with Breton sardines - a recipe made for spring. Freshness, sharpness, pep and everything to simply pick up and enjoy!

The nice thing about being cooked is that completely new combinations of flavors and ingredients are often put on the table that you would not have thought of before. That was exactly the case when Thomas served us the exotic-spicy variation of an asparagus meal this week: he surprised us with green and white asparagus with a sweet potato-coconut cream, the mild sweetness of which formed a nice contrast to the savory sardinettes. When everything was eaten, we licked our fingers for more and are happy that the asparagus season has only just begun.
