Categories     appetizer

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

Sliced Spinach Pie, cut in slices (see recipe)
Hummus (see recipe,) drizzled with olive oil and topped with toasted pine nuts
Sliced feta, drizzled with olive oil
Greek olives
Sliced tomato
Whole tomato
Grape leaves stuffed with rice
Pita bread, cut in triangles
3 cups chopped yellow onions (2 onions)
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
3 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, defrosted
6 extra-large eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons grated nutmeg
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons plain dry bread crumbs
1/2 pound good feta, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup pignoli (pine nuts)
1/4 pound salted butter, melted
6 sheets phyllo dough, defrosted
2 cups canned chickpeas, drained, liquid reserved
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup tahini (sesame paste)
6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
2 tablespoons water or liquid from the chickpeas
8 dashes Tabasco sauce

Steps:

  • Arrange the food items decoratively on a platter and serve.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a medium saute pan on medium heat, saute the onions with the olive oil until translucent and slightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the salt and pepper and allow to cool slightly.
  • Squeeze out and discard as much of the liquid from the spinach as possible. Put the spinach into a bowl and then gently mix in the onions, eggs, nutmeg, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, feta, and pignoli.
  • Butter an ovenproof, nonstick, 8-inch saute pan and line it with 6 stacked sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with melted butter and letting the edges hang over the pan. Pour the spinach mixture into the middle of the phyllo and neatly fold the edges up and over the top to seal in the filling. Brush the top well with melted butter. Bake for 1 hour, until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Serve at room temperature.
  • Place all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until the hummus is coarsely pureed. Taste for seasoning and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Lunch, Main course, Starter

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 red, orange or yellow peppers , deseeded and halved
3 tbsp olive oil
198g jar green olive
1 garlic clove , finely chopped
100g feta cheese , cubed
tub of tzatziki
150g pack radish
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze
140g self-raising flour , plus extra for dusting
140g low-fat natural yogurt
100g pack Continental sliced meats

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the peppers, skin-side up, on a non-stick baking sheet and brush over 1 tbsp of the oil. Roast for 30 mins.
  • Meanwhile, drain the olives and place in a serving bowl, drizzle over 1 tbsp oil, then stir through the garlic and lots of black pepper. Place the feta, tzatziki and radishes in serving bowls.
  • Remove the peppers from the oven, place in a bowl and cover with cling film. Leave until cool enough to handle, then peel off the skins. Dab dry with kitchen paper, remove the stalk and seeds, then slice into thin strips. Place in a serving bowl with the remaining 1 tbsp oil and the balsamic vinegar or glaze.
  • To make flatbreads, sift the flour into a bowl and stir in the yogurt. Bring the mixture together to form a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth. Roll into 4 balls, then use a rolling pin to roll into circles as thin as you can (approx 2mm), then shake off any excess flour. Heat a large frying pan, add the flatbreads one at a time and cook for 1-2 mins each side. Keep warm in a low oven while you cook the rest. To serve, arrange the meat on a platter with the antipasti. Serve with the flatbreads.
