Baked feta with grapes and rosemary

SERVES 4 AS A STARTER | PREP 5 MINS | COOK 35 MINS | EASY | V

A block of feta plus some grapes makes this a starter with zero-minute prep time on the day as can you can get it ready the day before.

Put two sheets of foil just larger than an A4 piece of paper over one another on a worksurface. Position a 200g block of feta in the middle. Add 200g of red grapes around the feta, along with 1-2 rosemary sprigs, broken into smaller sprigs. Drizzle with 2 tbsp of olive oil, ½ tbsp of runny honey and a crack of black pepper. Scrunch up the sides and seal the parcel. Chill until ready to serve – up to 24 hrs. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and bake for 30-35 mins or until the grapes have burst and the feta is soft. Serve with warmed focaccia for dunking.
