Our favorite baked feta with tomatoes, peppers and olives image

A wonderfully simple Greek appetizer of baked feta cheese with tomatoes, peppers, olives, oregano and paprika. This tastes a bit like a warm Greek salad and is wonderful smooshed onto bread with or without a glass of ouzo or wine!

Categories     appetizer or light meal

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3.5 ounces feta cheese ((Try to buy an entire thick slice - I prefer Greek))
9 ounces cherry tomatoes (cut in half)
½ red pepper (sliced into smallish strips)
½ green pepper (sliced into smallish strips (or just use 1 green or red pepper))
¼ medium onion ((¼ to ½) sliced thinly)
15 Kalamata olives (stoned and chopped in half (or leave whole but buy stoned olives))
½ tablespoon dried oregano
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil (plus a little extra)
1 teaspoon paprika
black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 190C/375F. Put the tomato halves, pepper pieces, onion and olives into a small to medium baking dish (around 8 inch x 8 inch or similar).
  • Sprinkle over the oregano and pour over the olive oil. Mix well.
  • Clear a gap in the middle of the vegetables. Nestle the block of feta in it.
  • Sprinkle the whole dish with the paprika and some black pepper (to taste). Drizzle the top of the cheese with a little more olive oil.
  • Bake for 30 minutes until the vegetables are starting to bubble and brown and the feta is soft.
  • Serve immediately with fresh toasted bread (everyone serves themselves onto individual plates).

HERBY SHRIMP-AND-FETA BAKE



Herby Shrimp-and-Feta Bake image

This shrimp bake gets the "low and slow" treatment in the oven, resulting in tender, perfectly cooked crustaceans without a hint of toughness. A saffron marinade and chopped fresh herbs up the elegance (and the flavor). Round it all out with creamy feta, and you have a sublime appetizer to serve with crusty bread.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh juice
Kosher salt
Pinch of saffron
Pinch of sugar
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced (1 teaspoon)
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped, plus more for serving
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 ounces feta, drained and sliced
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Using a mortar and pestle, grind together lemon zest, 3/4 teaspoon salt, saffron, and sugar. Add lemon juice and let stand 5 minutes. Add garlic; mash to a paste. Mash in herbs, then 2 tablespoons oil.
  • In a bowl, toss shrimp with herb mixture; let stand 15 minutes. Arrange shrimp and feta in a shallow ovenproof dish just large enough to hold them snugly. Pour remaining 1/2 cup oil over top. Bake, spooning oil over shrimp occasionally, until shrimp are pink and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve with more parsley and bread.
