Ingredients

You’ll need:

  • 150 g ciabatta
  • Small bunch of rosemary
  • 1 camembert
  • 1 garlic clove thinly sliced
  • Splash of white wine
  • 500 g black grapes broken into small bunches
  • Salt and pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp sherry vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 130 g California walnuts

Instructions

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Tear the ciabatta into large chunks and thread two or three chunks onto the rosemary sticks.
  • Remove the wax paper from the camembert and score the top with a cross hatch pattern using a sharp knife, stud with a little of the rosemary and garlic, splash over a little wine and place either back in the box, or in a camembert baker.
  • Arrange all the ingredients (except the California walnuts) on a baking tray with the camembert at the centre. Drizzle everything with the olive oil, honey and sherry vinegar, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, then sprinkle over the California walnuts and bake for a further 10 minutes - or until the walnuts are golden brown and the grapes have released some of their juices.
  • Place the tray directly onto the table to serve, dipping the walnuts, bread and grapes into the gooey camembert.
