Spicy Baked Feta (Feta Psiti)

Submitted by: Diana Moutsopoulos

Home Town: Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA

Living In: London, Greater London, England, U.K.

This is such an easy appetizer that never fails to impress! People are familiar with feta, but this traditional Greek way of preparing is not as well known. The salty/sour taste of the feta offsets the heat of the chili flakes - so don't be afraid to load them on!

This is a starters Greek recipe that is also eaten as an ouzo 'meze' (snack).

With a small alteration of adding pasta you can turn this dish into a delicious seafood pasta dish.

Raw Hummus

Submitted by: EMILKALIL

Raw organic hummus. A treat from traditionally cooked hummus and causes very little gas because all the enzymes are still there. When I serve this I make a depression in the middle and fill it with olive oil. Serve with pita bread, carrot or celery sticks, or small romaine leaves.
