FETA BOUYIOURDI RECIPE (SPICY GREEK BAKED FETA WITH TOMATOES)

Steps:

• To prepare this delicious Greek baked feta recipe, start by preparing the vegetables. Slice the onion and pepper into rings or half rings and chop the tomato into small cubes. (Use the ripest tomato you can find.)
• Place the block of feta on some aluminum foil and top with the tomato, onion and pepper. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with oregano. Wrap the feta cheese with the aluminum foil and place on a baking tray. (Make sure that the aluminium foil isn't torn, to keep the juices inside).
• Bake in preheated oven at 180C until the vegetables have softened, for about 20 minutes.
• Serve the baked feta as it is (with the aluminium foil), with some crusted bread aside. Enjoy!

GREEK BOUYIOURDI

Steps:

• Cut 1 tomato through the middle, then cut two slices from the centre and set aside. Scoop the seeds from the rest of the tomato, then grate the flesh, discarding the skin. Deseed and grate the rest of the tomatoes in the same way, then mix the grated flesh with the garlic. Season and spoon into a 16cm baking dish.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Nestle the feta block in the garlicky tomatoes, then top with the sliced tomatoes, the chilli, oregano, olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Cover the dish and bake for 15 mins, then uncover and bake for a further 15 mins. Serve warm with the pitta breads on the side for dunking.
