  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 40 ml ouzo
  • 1 ½ cup tomato sauce
  • ½ cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 tbsp dried parsley or fresh optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat a cast-iron pan over medium‑high heat, add a little olive oil, 2 garlic cloves, 2 red onionsand sauté for a few minutes until they soften and caramelize.
