A Greek Inspired Breakfast

(serves 4 generously)

Ingredients:

400 ml of hung yoghurt *

(1 tub of commercial yoghurt is 400 ml)

2 crisp red or green apples, chopped into 1 cm cubes

Two handfuls of seedless grapes (black or purple are nicer but green is just as good)

The seeds of 1 pomegranate

½ cup of gently toasted walnuts and almonds**

Honey – according to taste

Method:

This is so very pretty - maximize the effect of all the colours and textures while you assemble. Put about 2/3 tablespoons of yoghurt at the bottom of each transparent bowl or even a wine goblet if it’s a ‘fancy’ breakfast. Pile the grapes and apples in. Then another two tablespoons of yoghurt on top with a light touch – it should just sit on top of the fruit. Now sprinkle the pomegranate seeds and the nuts. Drizzle with honey and serve immediately.

If this is part of a social breakfast or brunch then serve all the ingredients separately with the honey in a small earthen milk jug. Guests really enjoy constructing this delightfully healthy start to a lazy brunch or late breakfast.

Now just imagine a lazy blue ocean and a grove of olive trees behind you on the hill.
