I spent most of the afternoon yesterday in the kitchen preparing a few things, and well I had a bit of a mishap with the camera. 🙁 Even though I had taken pictures of the preparation my camera went bananas…It was fully charged and was working fine but all of a sudden it just starting doing it’s own thing..on/off, on/off for a while and then it just suddenly stopped. :(. So, this morning I looked at it again and it seems to be working now, but unfortunately some of my pictures have disappeared. 🙁 I apologise for not having any photo of the preparation process for this recipe, it’s seem that my camera ate them. 🙁 🙁
The Greek Cuisine is full of all types of Appetisers, with Feta Cheese or without Feta Cheese Aubergines, Zucchini, Fish, Dips, Baked, Roasted, Fried I can go on and on, but I won’t because I want to tell you a little about the taste of this delicious, delightful recipe. If your a lover of peppers you will love this recipe because it’s so unique in it’s own way, it has a bit of spiciness from the peppers and yet the peppers have a bit of sweetness at the same time. 🙂
I remember when I first tried these peppers, my husband and I loved and still love to travel and we were still in the dating mode when we decided to go on a trip to Kastoria, Greece. A beautiful city up north surrounded by beautiful mountains, and Lake Orestiada. It was late in the afternoon when we arrived and were starving, (I still remember it to this day) 🙂 We found this small little tavern close to the lake, we order a few things to eat. My husband knew that I loved peppers but he also knew that I had never tried this before so he added this dish to our order. When the peppers arrived I was a bit hesitant because there was vinegar on it 🙁 but ok I had to try it and I enjoyed it…:)
When the waiter came over to our table again I asked if I can have another order but without the vinegar..:) It was delicious!!! (Since then I have completely omitted the vinegar hahahhaha) I like it simple Olive Oil, Oregano and Feta Cheese. Most still do add vineger but I think by adding vinegar you lose that smokey taste of the peppers once their baked.
If you haven’t come across this type of appetiser/dish, then this is a must try!! I am sure your tastebuds will go completely into shock. 🙂 Baked peppers just taken out of the oven with a slight smokey taste to it, and the addition of Olive Oil along with Feta Cheese and slightly sprinkled Oregano over the peppers…Seriously good tasting food!! 🙂
