Feta-Red Pepper Triangles

Hello,

With the holiday season just around the corner, you might be seeking an appetizer that is simple but full of flavors.  Maybe this Feta-Red Pepper Triangles recipe might be what you’re looking for.  If you’re familiar with Greek dips and you’ve been making a certain Tyrokauteri dip well then the filling of this recipe will sound very familiar, but it’s not the same.  This recipe has a few other ingredients that the dip does not, and here’s one example, eggs.

So, get out those frying pans, and let’s get to work on this full-of-taste recipe.  Start by cutting up the peppers, wash the peppers thoroughly, and then finely chop. I usually cut the peppers first and then wash them. You can also use the store-bought peppers in a jar with oil.  It’s much more time-consuming if you use the ready-made peppers.  If you’re looking to take this recipe to the next level then spice it up, with Jalapeno peppers. I’m not much of a very very hot hot hot spicy food person but if you are then make it spicy!

There aren’t many spices in this recipe because the feta cheese I chose this time is peppery.  Combined with the peppers that give a sweet taste I think the balance is just right.  Although, if you are going to be using jalapeno peppers for this recipe you need to work out the ratio of the feta cheese and peppers.  I used a red onion rather than yellow, the red onion also has a sweetness and balances out the filling.

This is a delicious Feta-Red Pepper Triangles vegetarian appetizer, snack call it whatever you wish and it tastes fantastic.  Ohhh by the way there’s just one more ingredient that you will need breadcrumbs!!  Gotchaaaa!!!  I bet you didn’t know that was coming. 🙂

Wishing everyone a wonderful morning/afternoon/evening!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece.My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural.In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it.Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits.So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes.Sophie
