Tuna, coriander and vegetable pie

On this last day of the year I thought I should try to finish 2019 as I want 2020 to be, at least some of the time. So I cooked, wrote a recipe and blogged. So I guess this means that in the New Year I want to cook, write recipes and blog them. I even thought about reviewing my online presence in #blog12daysxmas. It has been a while.

I must confess I was checking my memories on Facebook this morning when I discovered that a few years ago on New Year’s Eve I celebrated by cooking a pie with tuna and coriander. Yum I thought this morning! I will do something similar this year depending on what I find when I go shopping!  This is the result.

A variant on Eton Mess

Boxing Day is a time for playing with Christmas presents, for recovering from eating too much the day before but also for wondering what to do with leftover food. I found myself with lots of berries and a packet of individual meringues.  Eton mess came to mind and I did also have cream to spare, but I felt I had already had too much of that yesterday. However, I had Greek style yoghurt on hand, of course. The combination of the yoghurt, raspberries, blackberries, cherries and individual meringues resulted in a delicious combination of flavours and textures. And it wasn’t too sweet or too rich! This is indeed something that I will make again.

Ingredients (per person)

2 individual meringues (bought or pre-made)

3 tbs Greek style yoghurt

Cup of fruit (raspberries, blackberries and cherries) - pip the cherries in advance in you wish

Mode

Place the fruit in a individual bowl 

Spoon over the yoghurt

Add the meringues

Using a spoon crush the meringues and combine the ingredients.

Serve and  enjoy!
