Pickled blackberry and whipped feta tartines
These open sandwiches are topped with silky smooth whipped feta, piquant quick-pickled blackberries and peppery rocket leaves – a trio of flavours that come together in perfect harmony. They look pretty charming too, don’t you think?
Don’t waste the pickling liquid from the blackberries – it’s incredible in salad dressings. Try adding a splash of it to cocktails too – the fruity, slightly salty and tart flavour takes drinks like martinis to another level.

Method
- Combine the sugar, salt and vinegar in a bowl then stir in the blackberries. Set aside to quick pickle for at least 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the whipped feta. Put the feta and yogurt in a food processor and whizz until smooth. Continue processing while drizzling in the olive oil until incorporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then add an extra swirl of oil.
- Toast or grill the bread until golden and crisp. Spread the whipped feta onto the toast, then spoon over the pickled blackberries and scatter over some rocket leaves. Drizzle with a little extra oil.
