Roasted Olives, Feta Cheese and Garlic Recipe

Written by Published on Updated on October 7, 2022 in Appetizers, Mediterranean cuisine

Hey there,

A new week has begun and I am starting the day with this simple and sooo tasty recipe.  This roasted olive with feta cheese garlic dish is a great starter, appetizer.  We Greeks love appetizers!  Believe me, when it comes to appetizers sometimes, I prefer appetizers to the main course.  There are so many to choose from so why have the main course if you can eat so many other delicious little treats.

If you love Olives and Feta cheese then here is a recipe for you.  Combine your favorites olives, oregano, salt, olive oil and roast them in the oven.  Let’s not forget to add a few garlic cloves just to give it a bit more taste.  I made two batches one with no garlic and one with garlic the no garlic was for me.  I usually dip fresh bread and never get enough of it.  If you have never tried this appetizer but love olives,  I would advise you to try it out. 🙂

I usually buy olives that are not in a can or jar.  If you do decide to use either one then wash and dry before cooking.  I once bought canned and found that the taste was odd and so I prefer to wash thoroughly with water.

Have a good one everyone!!

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
