Dressed feta cheese
Instructions:
- We particularly like the flavor and firm texture of
Bulgarian feta cheese, which is easy to slice, but
other types can also be used.
- 1 pound feta cheese, drained well
- 5 large sprigs fresh dill
- 5 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 scallion, including green parts
- 1 teaspoon whole pink peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Cut the feta into 1/2-inch-thick slices, wiping the knife each time to keep the cheese from crumbling. Arrange on a serving dish.
- Pick the leaves from the herbs, and chop finely. Slice the scallion into thin rounds. Combine herbs and scallion in a small bowl; stir in peppercorns, red pepper flakes, and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Spoon the herb mixture over the feta. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon oil, and serve.
