Hot peppered goat's cheese with fresh cranberry and orange dressing

Method

1. Cut each cheese in half horizontally and press the black pepper onto all sides of the cheese.

2. Heat a non-stick frying pan until hot. Add the peppered cheese cut side down and fry for 3-4 minutes or until very golden. Using a fish slice, turn over and cook for a further minute. Remove from the pan and set to one side.

3. Using kitchen paper, wipe out the pan and return to the heat. Add the cranberries and orange juice, cook over a high heat, shaking the pan for a minute or so, until the cranberries are hot and just cooked, adding extra orange juice if needed. Remove from the heat and immediately add the cordial and olive oil to the pan. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

4. To serve, place a half goat's cheese on each plate and drizzle with the dressing. Serve at once with a few salad leaves.
