For a long time now, passports have joined the long list of basic good shortages Venezuelans are brutally faced with. My husband has been waiting since April for his new documentation and we have now reached the point of travel band due to the looming expiration date. As we refuse the government-led black market sale of $1,000 a passport (a bargain considering official employees are shamelessly charging five times that amount), I am going to take us on a comforting food journey across less corrupt countries around the world. We’ll be starting with Switzerland at the top 5 with its 118 year old Bircher Muesli recipe which ingredients I am sure Swiss would never struggle to source.

Ingredients
150 g porridge oats
1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
4 Medjoul dates, chopped
1 tablespoon chia seeds
The content of one teabag of chai (or 1/4 teaspoon of each of the following spices: cloves, cinnamon, cardamon, ground ginger).
1 tablespoon honey
1 apple of your choice, grated (I used Pink Lady)
50 g mixed nuts
600 ml milk (I used soya milk)
1 tablespoon almond butter
Directions
In a bowl combine all ingredients and mix well with a spoon. Cover with cling film and place in the fridge overnight or for approximately 8-10 hours.
Serve in a bowl with the toppings of your choice. I used blueberries, dried coconut and a drizzle of honey.
The muesli will last for about 3-4 days, depending on your appetite of course.
Enjoy!
