Ingredients

400g feta, sliced into 8 pieces
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp dried mint or oregano
crusty bread, to serve

For the chutney

300g cherries, pitted
6 tbsp red wine vinegar
1½ tsp yellow mustard seeds
3 bay leaves
¼ tsp black peppercorns
Large pinch chilli flakes
3 tbsp sugar

Method

Put all the chutney ingredients together in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer until the cherries are shiny and starting to burst (about 12 minutes). Remove from the heat and set aside to let the favours infuse a little.
Heat the grill to high. Line a baking tray with parchment and lay the feta slices on top. Drizzle with the oil and scatter over the dried mint or oregano. Grill for 5 minutes, then carefully lift the pieces onto a serving plate. Top with some of the cherries and their juice (avoiding the whole aromatics). Serve with slices of crusty bread to mop up the juices.
