Light and Cheap Aperitif Spoons with My Homemade Tuna Rillettes with Cucumber!

As an aperitif, I love to serve light aperitif spoons and not cherries, which I garnish according to my desires... With my appetizer spoons of homemade tuna and cucumber rillettes, success is guaranteed!

For an original aperitif, we all know puff pastries, appetizing verrines or even toasts. To go even further in originality, why not dare to use appetizer spoons?

My Ingredients for 12 Spoons:

• 1 plain yogurt
• 1 can of natural tuna
• 1 cucumber
• 1 teaspoon mustard
• A little dill and chives
• 1 lemon
• Salt and pepper

My Preparation!

• I clean and peel my cucumber, leaving a few green stripes showing.
• Then I cut it into thick slices and let it drain with a little salt.
• In a bowl, I mix my tuna, my plain yogurt, my mustard, my dill and a squeeze of lemon juice.
• I set aside ¼ of an hour to cool.
• Then I place a slice of cucumber in each spoon, on which I place my tuna rillettes.
• I decorate with a sprig of chives.

All that's left to do is treat yourself!

My Bonus Tip!

To make your rillettes, you can just as well replace the yoghurt with 0% fresh cheese or light cream!

A Reduced Cost!

• 1 plain yoghurt:€0.40
• 1 can of tuna 140g:€2
• 1 cucumber:€1
• 1 lemon:€0.40

Or €3.80 for 12 aperitif spoons or even less than €0.32 for a homemade spoon!
