Tomato with watermelon, feta, mint and cumin oil

Tomato with watermelon, feta, mint and cumin oil

These are the ingredients you need

400 g cocktail tomatoes, in quarters - 1 quarter watermelon, diced - 200 g good quality feta, diced - 1 tbsp cumin seeds - 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil - pinch of coarse sea salt - 3-4 peppercorns - large handful of fresh mint leaves - cocktail sticks - mortar and pestle or spice grinder

Preparation

Toast the cumin seeds in a dry frying pan until the seeds start giving off an aroma and almost start jumping out of the pan. Transfer the seeds to a mortar and pestle or spice grinder and grind them finely with the coarse sea salt and the peppercorns. Add the olive oil and mix well. The cumin oil will have more flavour if it is allowed to stand for a while so that the flavour can permeate the oil. Arrange the watermelon pieces on the cocktail sticks together with cubes of feta and tomato, with the occasional mint leaf in between, and season with freshly ground pepper. Serve the tomato and watermelon sticks with the cumin oil for dipping.
