Feisty Feta with Roasted Veg



This is a savory Greek recipe adapted from Relish Magazine.  It's a little trickier than most of my recipes, but it's so worth it. 

Preheat oven to 400F.

Roast in a glass pan:

1 red bell pepper
1 yellow (or orange) bell pepper
1 onion
6 cloves of garlic
drizzle of olive oil
salt
black pepper

Roast until vegetables are soft inside and crispy outside.

Combine in bowl with:

1 tablespoon capers
24 olives (blend of black and green is nice)
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1/4 cup fresh chives
1/4 cup fresh dill

Now, here's the tricky part.  Make sure the oven is now on BROIL and ready to broil.  If it's still warm from the peppers, but not ready to broil you will just melt the feta and make a mess.  Trust me, toasted feta is worth it.

Crumble 8 ounces of feta cheese on a baking sheet.   Broil until bubbly and lightly browned- about 2 minutes.

Toss cheese with the vegetables.  Enjoy on couscous, corn tortillas or pita bread.  Smile.
