Instructions

Roasted Tomatoes

  • Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
  • Wash and slice cherry tomatoes in half.
  • Prepare marinade - in a small bowl combine 1 tablespoon and ½ tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, ½ teaspoon dry basil, ¼ teaspoon dry oregano and a pinch of salt.
  • Toss tomatoes with the marinade. Pour tomatoes onto the baking sheet lined with parchment. Spread them out in one layer.
  • Roast tomatoes at 375 (190C) for 20-25 minutes until roasted and caramelized. Allow to cool before serving, or store cooled roasted tomatoes in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-5 days. Serve at room temperature.

Whipped Feta

  • Into an immersion blender cup pour 5oz (150 grams) plain Greek yogurt or Skyr, 7 oz (200 grams) crumbled feta, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper. Blend with the stick blender until smooth. Store in the fridge. Serve at room temperature.
    If you don't have a stick blender use a small chopper instead.
  • To serve, spoon chilled whipped feta into a bowl, with the back of the spoon, make an indentation swirl. Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil and runny 2 tablespoons of honey across the top. Garnish with 1 1/2 tablespoons of chives and 2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts.
  • Spread whipped feta on a toasted bread and top it with roasted tomatoes.
