Meals for Under £10: Stilton blini with blueberry and raspberry salsa

BUYING party food can be an easy way to feed guests at this time of year – but with huge queues, crowds in the streets and general Christmas frenzy in the shops, we reckon it’s better to make your own.

These Stilton blinis are a perfect example. They’re so easy they only take a few minutes to make – and are much more impressive than anything you can buy.

Thanks to Seasonal Berries for this lovely recipe.

You’ll need:

100g blueberries, roughly chopped

100g raspberries, roughly chopped

½ small red onion, chopped

½ green chilli, deseeded and finely chopped

1 tbsp capers, chopped

2 tbsp fresh coriander, roughly chopped

1 tbsp lemon juice

Salt and ground black pepper

16 mini blinis or small savoury crackers

175g Stilton cheese, sliced

Rocket leaves to garnish

Method:

First make the salsa. Add the fruit, onion, chilli, capers, coriander and lemon juice to a small bowl and mix well.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and chill for 20 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse.

Arrange the blinis or crackers on a large serving plate. Top each with a slice of Stilton cheese.

Place a teaspoon of the salsa on top of the cheese and garnish with a rocket leaf. Serve immediately.
