Serves: 4

Method

1. Remove the tough cores from the tomatoes with a small kitchen knife.

2. Slice the tomatoes thickly on a chopping board and arrange the slices in a wide-based shallow dish.

3. Crumble the feta cheese over the tomatoes, sprinkle with olive oil, then sprinkle with olives and fresh basil. Season with freshly ground black pepper and serve at room temperature.

Cook's Tip:- Feta cheese has a strong flavour and can be very salty. For an authentic flavour and texture, look out for Greek, Cypriot or Turkish feta.
