Nigel Slater’s chilli feta recipe

I need to try this at some point:

CHILLI FETA

Serves 1-2 as a light snack

Ingredients

3 medium hot, red or orange chillies
2 spring onions – finely chopped
A little olive oil
200g feta cheese
a few sprigs of thyme
coriander – a large handful, roughly chopped

Turkish bread to serve

Directions

1. Halve the chillies lengthways, remove their seeds with the point of a knife and discard. If you like it hot, leave the seeds in.
2. Finely slice the chillies and the spring onions. Warm a thin layer of olive oil in a shallow pan, add the chillies and spring onions and leave to soften over a gentle heat, stirring from time to time.
3. Remove the leaves from the thyme, chop roughly then stir in the chillies. Put the lump of feta in the pan, spoon a little of the chillies, spring onions and thyme over the cheese and leave for a few minutes until the cheese is warm and starting to soften around the edges.
4. Add the chopped coriander leaves then sandwich pieces of the cheese and its seasonings in between pieces of bread.
