Ingredients

  • Olive Oil: 100ml olive oil
  • Thyme Leaf: 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, plus a few extra for scattering
  • Garlic Clove: 4 garlic cloves, sliced
  • Chilli Flakes: 1/4 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • Tomato: 140g semi-dried tomato in olive oil, drained
  • Artichoke Heart: 175g pack or jar artichoke heart in oil
  • Feta Cheese: 2 x 200g packs feta cheese
  • Olive: 85g Kalamata olive

Directions

  1. Tip the olive oil and thyme into a bowl and blitz with a hand blender. Stir in the garlic, chilli and lots of black pepper (but no salt). You could add some of the oil from the tomatoes and artichokes, too.
  2. Cut each block of feta into 4 (or 6) and arrange in a dish or a food container with the tomatoes, artichokes and olives. Spoon over the herby oil, scatter with extra thyme and leave to marinate in the fridge overnight.
