Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Marinated Feta with Olives and Roasted Red Pepper

[heart_this] · Mar 6, 2008 · 32 Comments

Marinated Feta with Olives and Roasted Red Pepper

Not too long ago Peter posted about a meze (a Greek appetizer) of marinated feta with olives that looked really good. Since I was having so many other Greek flavoured dishes this week I though what better time to try it. I went to Greek town and found some nice imported Greek feta and black olives (along with some baklava). This dish was super easy to put together, though, since I roasted my own red pepper it took a bit longer. It tasted great! The flavours all came together really nicely. Even though the feta and the olives were great, I felt that the roasted red pepper stole the show. The sweetness of the roasted red pepper went really well with the balsamic vinegar. The sweet and balsamicy roasted red pepper then went really well with the salty feta and olives. I will definitely be making this again.

    Great appetizer Kevin. My supervisor loves olives (the entire fridge at work smells like a big olive — kind of gross). So, this could be a great option to serve him when we do his birthday potluck.

    lnwn: Bread goes perfectly with it. You can dip it into the leftover marinade to make sure that none of it goes to waste.

    Just made this for my new years party. I ended up doubling the marinade and only using half of a red onion. The bite I just tried was delicious though. This will go into the regular party rotation.
