Method

  • step 1

    Put the red onion in a bowl and add the vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt. Massage everything together with your fingers for 1 min – this will slightly pickle the onions. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.

  • step 2

    Scrunch up a sheet of baking parchment and use to line a gratin dish. Add the grapes, drizzle over 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp sumac, most of the dill and some seasoning, then toss everything to coat. Nestle the blocks of feta in among the grapes, then scatter over the onions and any of the pickling vinegar, the remaining oil and sumac. You can now leave in the fridge for up to 24 hrs, or bake straight away.

  • step 3

    Bake for 30-35 mins until the feta is browning and the grapes look juicy. Scatter over the remaining dill, then serve in the middle of the table with bread for scooping up the cheese, grapes and juices.

I absolutely love this - I have made it so many times and everyone says how good it is!

Interesting flavours but just too tart with the feta and the vinegar. Maybe needs honey or something else than vinegar. Won’t be doing it again unfortunately.

Hi, thanks for your question. You can try reducing the sugar or leaving it out entirely as the grapes should still provide plenty of sweetness, although please note that we haven’t tried this in our test kitchen. You could taste it without any sugar and then add a little if needed to balance the…

I served this at a dinner party. Instead of using bread I made individual filo baskets. Will definitely be making it again. Guests were highly impressed

Did you bake the cheese dish and the filo cases separately then fill with the cooked cheese or did you put the ingredients in the uncooked pastry then bake? Sounds like an impressive looking starter. Many thanks
