From Nigel Slaters Simple Suppers S02
3 large chillies, red, orange or yellow
2 large spring onions
a little olive oil
1-2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only
a 200g/7oz block of feta cheese
soft bread, to serve
Slice the chillies lengthways, then cut each into thin slices. Thinly slice the spring onions.
Warm the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan then add the chillies and spring onions. Let them sizzle briefly – you want them to be soft but not browned.
Add a little thyme to the pan then lower in the block of feta. Let the cheese soften slightly then serve with the chillies and some soft fresh bread.
