Method

Preheat oven to 200°C.

Put the olives and buffalo feta in a small roasting dish with the olive oil, garlic, fennel seeds, half the thyme and chilli flakes.

Thinly slice the lemon and mix through the olives.

Bake for 15 mins. Remove from the oven and sprinkle over remaining thyme.

To serve
Squeeze over the lemon juice and serve warm with your favourite bread.

*Cow or goat’s feta will also work well.
