INGREDIENTS

2 x 150-gram packets Food Snob Greek Feta, drained
3 tablespoons Greek natural yoghurt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1½ tablespoons lemon juice
sea salt and ground pepper
Raspberry Coulis
1 cup frozen raspberries

METHOD
Whipped Feta: Put 250 grams of the feta in a food processor, reserving the remaining 50 grams for assembling. Add the yoghurt, olive oil, and lemon juice and blitz until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Coulis: Combine the raspberries, lemon juice, honey, and chilli flakes, if using, in a small saucepan. Simmer for 3–4 minutes. Cool slightly, then strain through a sieve to discard the seeds.
Nectarines: Heat some oil in a grill pan over a medium-high heat. Add the nectarine slices and grill for 3 minutes on each side until charred.
To serve: Spread the whipped feta onto a serving plate. Top with the grilled nectarines. Drizzle generously with coulis. Garnish with chopped hazelnuts, mint and the reserved feta. Serve with crusty bread.
