Method

1.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small frying pan over medium heat.

3.

Toss in the walnuts and thyme sprigs and cook for another 1–2 minutes, stirring gently to toast the nuts and infuse the oil with thyme.

4.

Spoon the cottage cheese into a serving bowl, spreading it out slightly.

Top with the warm fried dates, walnuts and thyme. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt to taste.
