Method
1. Preheat oven to 220°C.

2. Place the grapes onto a baking tray (line with baking
paper if you prefer), scatter with the thyme leaves and
drizzle with the vinegar and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss
briefly to coat. Roast them until they are starting to
collapse, 10-12 minutes.

3. Remove the tray from the oven and gently flip the
grapes over. Add the block of feta, drizzle the feta with a
little olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Return to the oven until the feta is soft and the grapes are
starting to burst, about 10 minutes.

4. The just-baked grapes will be hot, so allow to cool slightly
before placing on crackers or bread.

If you would like to create a light, flavorful and satisfying snack or appetizer, this one will so do the trick. I think I found the recipe on the NYTimes and have not changed a thing nor see the need to do so.  Except for the fact that I failed to pay attention to the notation of 220 degrees of the oven pre-heat was celsius and not fahrenheit; (the recipe is obviously european) and I had to fix that after wondering why it was taking so long to roast the grapes. In other words, you can’t mess this one up.  It’s absolutely delicious.

If you like Feta with watermelon and mint in the summer, this is a wonderful cold weather version. Delicious flavor contrasts of Feta’s salty, brine cheese sprinkled with thyme and melted with the warm sweet grapes.  I used artisanal crackers and could easily see this with a warm bread.This was my first time eating roasted grapes. It won’t be my last.  This is far too easy and too simply incredibly flavorful to not have a permanent spot in my life as a snack or appetizer.

There was a lot of moaning going on while I ate this dish and simultaneously shot these images of the fog floating down the river on the first Full Moon of the year.

These handcrafted pieces arrived yesterday from Egypt; new purchases that clearly were supposed to be used – for the first time – this particular afternoon and with this particular dish.

Initially, I felt Rothko. Then recognized, in reality, Rothko, the ceramic potter artisan and I were all enamored with the colors of the horizon.
