GREEK TOMATO AND BREAD SALAD WITH FETA, BASIL, AND CAPERS
Since much of Greece's dense, crusty, grainy, wonderful bread has always been dried toast like for keeping, it stands to reason that the Greeks would also have a number of ways of soaking the bread to restore its moist chewy softness. Bread salads are proof of how the plainest, simplest of foods can be utterly matchless. If you want to make barley rings go to Greek Black Barley Rings (Mavrokoulouria) # 210035 Barley Rings remain one of the most unusual and renowned Greek breads. Traditional in Crete and the Southern Cyclades, they are the epitome of rural breads, they nourish, last, and feed through winter, keeping hearts strong. Barley rings are nutty, honest, truly down to earth. They stay crunchy even when soaked in liquid. They are the bread of choice for bread salad. They are marvelous crumbled in soup, and dunking in morning brew. Traditionally the rings are made with sourdough starter but this recipe uses yeast.

FETA CHEESE WITH TOMATO AND CAPERS
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Preheat the broiler and set the oven rack in the top position. Place the feta in a small (1.5-quart) baking dish and set aside.
- Heat the oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and sugar; cook, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes are softened and starting to burst, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the capers.
- Scatter the tomatoes around the feta and broil until the feta is softened and browned on top, about 4 minutes (but keep an eye on it as broilers vary greatly.)
Tips:
- Choose fresh, ripe tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Look for tomatoes that are firm, plump, and have a deep red color.
- Use good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese is the star of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for feta that is creamy and has a slightly tangy flavor.
- Don't overcook the tomatoes: Tomatoes should be cooked until they are softened but still hold their shape. Overcooking them will make them mushy.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to this dish. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and garlic.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the tomatoes are still warm.
Conclusion:
This feta cheese with tomato and capers recipe is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With its fresh, tangy flavor, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table!
