Baked Feta With Carrot Jam Recipes

ROASTED CARROTS WITH FETA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Wash and peel the carrots.
• If your carrots are large cut them in half lengthwise.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the carrots out evenly on the sheet.
• In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, honey, water, garlic and salt and pepper and pour on top of the carrots.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes stirring halfway through. Serve immediately.

BAKED FETA WITH CARROT JAM

Steps:

• Carrot jam, part 1: In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil with honey and bay leaf. Reduce heat and simmer until the mixture thickens slightly, about 6-8 minutes. Add grated carrots and coriander, and simmer until the carrots become thick and jam-like, about 40 minutes.
• Walnut crumb: In a small bowl, mix ground walnuts, sesame seeds, za'atar, sumac, and a pinch of salt. Stir in olive oil to make the mixture slightly sticky. Set aside.
• Feta: Preheat oven to 400 F. Slice feta into 6 equal pieces (don't worry about breakage). Place each slice of feta on a piece of parchment paper, roughly in the middle of the paper. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the walnut crumb over the feta and pack it down lightly. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Fold the parchment over the feta and seal each packet by folding or rolling the edges over twice. Transfer the packs to a baking sheet and bake for about 12 minutes.
• Carrot jam, part 2: When the carrots have reduced and most of the liquid has cooked down, stir in lemon juice and olive oil. Set aside.
• Assembly: When feta is piping hot and ready to serve, cut an X in the top of each paper packet with scissors-carefully, so the steam doesn't burn you. Pull the tips of the triangles away from the center to open up each packet. Spoon a little carrot jam on each feta chunk, sprinkle with scallions, and serve immediately with pita bread.
