The intense, salty flavour of Feta is great when combined with walnuts. The nutty, earthy flavour mellows the cheese and the overall results are delicious. Great with lamb incidentally.
RECIPE:
90g feta cheese
2 tablespoons natural (Greek) yoghurt
1/3 cup walnuts
pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
1 tablespoon fresh mint (chopped)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 200ºC. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Remove then when cooled place in a small bag. Pound the nuts with a rolling pin until you have a course crumb.
Crumble the feta into a bowl, spoon over the yoghurt then tip in the nuts. Mash together with a fork then stir in the pepper, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley and mint. Leave for 30 minutes to develop in flavour.
SERVING:
Serve as part of a larger meze spread with fresh pita breads to scoop up the salad.
