Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Put the pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, sugar, ground coriander, half the cumin seeds, chilli flakes, tomatoes and pomegranate seeds in a bowl with some seasoning and toss together. Tip into a baking dish and cook for 15 minutes, until the tomatoes start to burst and give up their juice.

Halve the feta blocks, mix the remaining 1 tsp of cumin seeds with 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper and sprinkle over the feta. Put the feta into the baking dish, drizzle a little oil over, and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the feta is browning and the sauce is bubbling. Serve while still hot, scattered with chopped parsley, with plenty of warm bread and a green salad or vegetables.
