Crevettes With Feta And Tomato Sauce Recipes

CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES AND FETA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large skillet heat oil over high. Add onion and garlic and saute until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook until tomatoes break down, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Season chicken with salt and add to skillet. Transfer to oven. Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 17 minutes. Heat broiler. Sprinkle feta over chicken and broil until feta is softened and browned in spots, 2 minutes. Sprinkle with dill for serving.

CREVETTES WITH FETA AND TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4.
• Pour the tomato sauce into a large flat oven dish and pour the tomato sauce into it, scatter the feta on top and put it into the oven for 5 minutes until the feta begins to melt.
• Heat 25 ml (just short of 1 tablespoon) of olive oil in a frying pan, add the spring onions, garlic and thyme; and gently sauté for 5 minutes or until the onions are soft, then stir them into the tomato sauce in the oven dish. Return the dish to the oven to keep warm.
• Put the pan back on the heat, add the remaining olive oil and sear the crevettes (or prawns) for 2 or 3 minutes. Then flame the pan with the Ouzo.
• When the flames have died down, add the crevettes and the pan juices to the oven dish full of tomato sauce. Season with black pepper and mix everything together and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes to allow the flavours to amalgamate.
• Remove the dish from the oven, and pour the extra virgin olive oil over the top.
• Allow the dish to cool a little before serving so that it can be eaten by hand with crisp bread.

GREAT APPETIZER: OVEN BAKED FETA WITH TOMATOES & PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚F.
• Slice the pearl tomatoes horizontally (each one in four pieces) and place on paper towels to drain. (If you are using one large tomato, cut the end pieces and slice the rest in six slices). After 3-4 minutes, turn them over and place on new paper towels. Cut the pepper into four rings and set aside.
• Oil well a small, shallow ceramic baking dish (or four individual ceramic ramekins) and place half of the tomato slices at the bottom. Sprinkle with some sea salt and crushed pepper flakes. Top with half the bell pepper slices.
• Arrange the two Feta pieces on top of the tomato/pepper layer, place the remaining tomato slices on top of each piece of cheese, and place the rest of the bell pepper rings on the tomato. Drizzle liberally with the extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with oregano and some more pepper flakes, and transfer to the middle of the oven.
• Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the feta turns a light-golden color and the oil is sizzling. If you want to deepen the color, you can place the dish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end of the cooking time.
• Brush some olive oil on the slices of good, multigrain bread, and grill on both sides. Serve the baked feta immediately with some warm grilled bread.

ONE-PAN FETA PASTA WITH CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a shallow 2-quart casserole or gratin dish, or an 11-by-7-inch baking dish, combine tomatoes, garlic, thyme, rosemary and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Toss with 1/4 cup of the olive oil to coat. Place the feta in the middle of the dish, and top with the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Sprinkle the black pepper and red-pepper flakes over everything. Bake for about 40 minutes, until the garlic has softened and the tomatoes have burst their skins.
• Add the pasta to the pan in an even layer and sprinkle with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Pour the boiling water on top. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, carefully submerge pasta. Cover tightly with foil and bake until pasta is al dente, 17 to 19 minutes. Remove from oven and let the pasta stand, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb the excess liquid.
• Stir in basil until everything is well incorporated, and the tomatoes and cheese create a creamy sauce. When serving, top with more black pepper, oil and flaky sea salt.

• Bake in the preheated oven until tomatoes soften and feta is starting to brown, about 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
• Remove casserole dish from the oven and stir in cream, basil, and pasta. Keep stirring until pasta and feta are well mixed with the sauce. Serve immediately.

Mix in cheese and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.

SAUTEED FETA WITH TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Freeze feta, wrapped in plastic wrap, 30 minutes (to facilitate slicing). Cut feta into 1/3-inch-thick slices and gently pat dry between paper towels.
• Spread flour and bread crumbs on 2 separate plates. In a shallow bowl beat egg lighty. Working with 1 slice at a time, dredge feta gently in flour, brushing off excess, and dip in egg, letting excess drip off. Coat feta with bread crumbs and transfer to a wax-paper-lined tray. Chill feta 15 minutes.
• In a small saucepan bring tomato sauce to a bare simmer and keep warm.
• In a large non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté feta in batches 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until golden. Transfer feta with a slotted spatula to plates. Squeeze lemon over feta to taste and sprinkle with pepper. Serve feta with tomato sauce.
