ROASTED RABBIT WITH OLIVES AND FETA
Rabbit is mild and just a little earthy tasting, with silky meat that stays moist if you take care not to overcook it. Here it's quickly roasted with olives, lemon and feta cheese, which melts into a creamy pan sauce to spoon on top. Try to find French feta, which is softer and mellower than its assertive Greek and Bulgarian cousins. While the recipe calls for white wine, you can also make this dish with a light-bodied red. Serve it with crusty bread for scooping up the good, savory sauce.And if you must, yes, you can substitute chicken for the rabbit. Just increase the roasting time, before you add the feta, by 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Place rabbit pieces in a large bowl and toss with rosemary, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a small saucepan over medium heat, simmer wine until reduced by half.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add rabbit pieces and garlic in a single layer and cook until meat is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes a side. (If the garlic gets too dark before the rabbit is finished browning, put the garlic on top of the rabbit to keep it from cooking more.)
- Put lemon slices, olives and half the butter into the pan. Pour in reduced wine. Cover and transfer to oven for 5 minutes. Uncover and scatter feta over top. Continue cooking until rabbit is just cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes more. Stir in remaining butter and more salt if needed, and serve.

ROASTED FETA WITH HONEY
A drizzle of honey and a blast of heat transform a standard block of crumbly feta into an unexpectedly luscious, creamy spread for pita and vegetables. This, with a hunk of crusty bread and a glass of chilled white wine, is the perfect warm weather supper. If you can't get your hands on thyme honey, the regular sort will do just fine.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Select a small oven-to-table earthenware dish or a small ovenproof sauté pan lined with aluminum foil to help transfer the cheese to a plate after roasting. Place the feta in the dish and cover with the olive oil. Bake until the cheese is soft and springy to the touch but not melted, about 8 minutes.
- Preheat the broiler. Heat the honey in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water until it is fluid enough to be spread with a pastry brush and then paint the surface of the feta with it. Broil until the top of the cheese browns and just starts to bubble. Season to taste with black pepper. Serve immediately with pita wedges and, if desired, sliced heirloom tomatoes, roasted beets, nuts or pickled vegetables.

Tips:
- Choose the right olives. Any variety of olive can be roasted, but some are better suited for it than others. Kalamata olives, for example, have a firm texture and a slightly bitter flavor that holds up well to roasting. Green olives, on the other hand, are more delicate and can become mushy if they are roasted for too long.
- Roast the olives at a high temperature. This will help to caramelize the sugars in the olives and give them a crispy exterior. A temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal.
- Roast the olives in a single layer. This will ensure that they cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the olives will steam instead of roast.
- Keep an eye on the olives while they are roasting. They can go from perfectly roasted to burnt in a matter of minutes. Once they are slightly wrinkled and have a few brown spots, they are done.
- Let the olives cool before serving. This will help them to firm up and make them easier to handle.
Conclusion:
Roasted olives are a delicious and versatile snack or appetizer. They can be served on their own, or they can be added to salads, pasta dishes, and pizzas. They are also a great way to add a salty and savory flavor to grilled meats and vegetables. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own roasted olives at home. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful snack, give roasted olives a try.
