Ingredients
Block of Feta 200g
3 Tablespoons – Stones Devon Honey
1 Tablespoon – Four Elms Apple Cider Vinegar
2 Teaspoons – South Devon Chilli Farm Flakes
A handful of West Country Olives – Green Pitted Olives
Method
1. Prepare the Hot Honey
In a small saucepan, combine Stones Devon honey, Four Elms apple cider vinegar, South Devon chilli flakes, and rapeseed oil. Heat gently until fragrant and slightly reduced. Set aside.
2. Fry the Feta
Heat 2 tablespoons of rapeseed oil in a non-stick pan. Fry the block of feta on all sides until golden and slightly crispy.
3. Add the Hot Honey
Pour the prepared hot honey over the fried feta. Allow it to sizzle and infuse into the cheese for a minute or two, coating the feta evenly.
4. Add the Olives
Scatter green pitted olives around the feta, letting their briny flavour mingle with the sweet and spicy honey.
5. Finish and Serve
Drizzle a little extra Stones Devon honey on top for shine and sweetness. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately with crusty bread or as part of a Mediterranean-style platter.
