CREVETTES WITH FETA AND TOMATO SAUCE



Crevettes With Feta and Tomato Sauce image

Greek chef and restaurateur Theodore Kyriakou (widely considered to be the finest Greek chef in Britain) tells us that "As soon as the first warm sunshine comes after winter and the restaurants start to put tables outside, this is their star dish.... As with most prawn dishes, you should start with the largest, freshest prawns you can buy. Fresh prawns are glossy, they smell of the sea without a hint of ammonia and do not need rinsing." This recipe is from 'real Greek food', which Theodore Kyriakou co-authored with food writer Charles Campion. I am posting it for the 2005 Zaar World Tour.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

750 ml tomato sauce
250 g Greek feta cheese, crumbled
50 ml olive oil
1 bunch spring onion
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
16 mediterranean crevettes or 16 tiger shrimp
70 ml ouzo
30 ml extra virgin olive oil
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4.
  • Pour the tomato sauce into a large flat oven dish and pour the tomato sauce into it, scatter the feta on top and put it into the oven for 5 minutes until the feta begins to melt.
  • Heat 25 ml (just short of 1 tablespoon) of olive oil in a frying pan, add the spring onions, garlic and thyme; and gently sauté for 5 minutes or until the onions are soft, then stir them into the tomato sauce in the oven dish. Return the dish to the oven to keep warm.
  • Put the pan back on the heat, add the remaining olive oil and sear the crevettes (or prawns) for 2 or 3 minutes. Then flame the pan with the Ouzo.
  • When the flames have died down, add the crevettes and the pan juices to the oven dish full of tomato sauce. Season with black pepper and mix everything together and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes to allow the flavours to amalgamate.
  • Remove the dish from the oven, and pour the extra virgin olive oil over the top.
  • Allow the dish to cool a little before serving so that it can be eaten by hand with crisp bread.

ONE-PAN FETA PASTA WITH CHERRY TOMATOES



One-Pan Feta Pasta With Cherry Tomatoes image

In 2018, the Finnish blogger Jenni Hayrinen posted a recipe for baked feta pasta. The dish became a full-on TikTok sensation, popular to the point that supermarkets were selling out of feta. This version streamlines her recipe. Instead of cooking the pasta separately, it's added to the casserole dish with the baked feta and tomatoes, turning it into a cozy one-pan meal. (Also note that you'll need an electric kettle to boil the water. So maybe it's more like a one-and-a-half-pan meal.) Don't think of this as a pasta dish in an Italian, al-dente sense. It's more like a creamy casserole along the lines of mac and cheese. In any case, it's comforting and supremely easy.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pints cherry tomatoes
5 garlic cloves, peeled and left whole
5 thyme sprigs
2 rosemary sprigs
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
8 ounces feta
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more for serving
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
12 ounces short pasta, such as farfalle, campanelle, rotini or cavatappi
3 cups boiling water
1 cup torn basil leaves
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a shallow 2-quart casserole or gratin dish, or an 11-by-7-inch baking dish, combine tomatoes, garlic, thyme, rosemary and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Toss with 1/4 cup of the olive oil to coat. Place the feta in the middle of the dish, and top with the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Sprinkle the black pepper and red-pepper flakes over everything. Bake for about 40 minutes, until the garlic has softened and the tomatoes have burst their skins.
  • Add the pasta to the pan in an even layer and sprinkle with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Pour the boiling water on top. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, carefully submerge pasta. Cover tightly with foil and bake until pasta is al dente, 17 to 19 minutes. Remove from oven and let the pasta stand, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb the excess liquid.
  • Stir in basil until everything is well incorporated, and the tomatoes and cheese create a creamy sauce. When serving, top with more black pepper, oil and flaky sea salt.
