Grilled Feta And Olive Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Stir tomatoes, olives, onion, 2 tablespoons oil, and mint in small bowl to blend.
• Brush 1 side of each pita with remaining 2 tablespoons oil; place pitas, oiled side down, on grill. Cook until lightly charred, about 2 minutes. Turn pitas over; top with tomato mixture, spreading almost to edges. Sprinkle with cheese.
• Cover barbecue and grill pitas until topping is warm, about 2 minutes. Transfer pitas to plates and serve.

Steps:

• Drizzle feta with olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle with oregano and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, or marinate in the refrigerator overnight. Serve at room temperature.;
• Combine all ingredients in a heavy duty resealable bag (preferably freezer bag). Remove all air from bag prior to sealing. Refrigerate and let olives marinate overnight, turning once. Remove contents of bag to serving bowl.;

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Let dough rest on work surface 15 to 20 minutes. Stretch and roll out dough to thin irregular 16x9-inch rectangle. Sprinkle half of dough evenly with crumbled feta cheese, golden raisins, diced Kalamata olives, and 3/4 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary; sprinkle lightly with coarsely ground pepper. Fold plain dough half over filling to enclose, forming about 9-inch square. Seal dough edges.
• Sprinkle large piece of parchment paper with flour. Transfer dough to parchment; pierce to release any air pockets. Roll out dough to 11- to 12-inch square. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon flaked salt over; press into dough.
• Using parchment as aid, flip dough over onto grill. Sprinkle top with 1/4 teaspoon flaked salt; press into dough. Cook until bottom of dough is brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn focaccia over. Brush top lightly with oil. Cook until bottom is deep brown and bread is cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn bread over onto cutting board; brush top lightly with oil. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary.

Steps:

• Brush both sides of each bread slice with some oil. Cut enough 1/4-inch-thick slices from feta to cover 2 slices of bread and cut tomato into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Assemble 2 sandwiches with feta and tomato slices, seasoning filling with oregano and LOTS of pepper.
• In a 12-inch nonstick skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook sandwiches until golden, about 2 minutes on each side.
• Variation: Adding sliced or chopped Kalamata olives is a delicious addition.
• Note: This is a grilled sandwich that is delicious served at room temperature too.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven's broiler.
• In a large bowl, mix together ground lamb with parsley, onion, feta cheese, green olives, eggs, and Italian seasoning. Shape into 16 meatballs, and place 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.
• Broil about 3 inches away from the heat until browned on top. Turn over, and broil on the other side.
