Like any good chopped salad, the lettuce here is in equal balance with the other ingredients, making this a great choice for those who are less than enthusiastic about leafy greens. Creamy feta and avocado mingle with briny olives and capers while cucumbers and finely chopped romaine provide crunch. Use this recipe as a template for making the most of ingredients you have on hand; radishes, cherry tomatoes or diced onion would all be welcome here. The same flexibility applies for the croutons: Stale bread works, of course, but even leftover hot dog buns, pita bread or oyster crackers become excellent little croutons when toasted in the oven.

Chopped Salad With Chickpeas, Feta and Avocado

small (1/2-inch) diced stale bread, buns

olive oil,

Kosher salt and black pepper

romaine heart,

chickpeas,

scallions (about 2 scallions)

red wine vinegar

capers,

shallots

Dijon mustard

halved,

feta cheese (about 4 ounces)

herbs,

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the diced bread on a sheet pan, drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss, then bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until well toasted. Set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, place the romaine pieces in a large mixing bowl, along with the chickpeas, cucumber, olives and scallions.

In a small bowl, whisk together 6 tablespoons olive oil with the vinegar, capers, shallots, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and whisk well. Pour enough dressing over the salad to moisten; toss well. Add the avocado, feta and herbs and toss gently, adding more dressing to taste. Top with the croutons and a generous sprinkle of herbs and serve.

When baked, feta gains an almost creamy texture, similar to goat cheese but with feta’s characteristic tang. In this easy vegetarian sheet-pan dinner, broccolini (or broccoli), grape tomatoes and lemon slices roast alongside the feta until the broccolini crisp, the tomatoes burst and the lemon rinds soften. (Remember, broccolini has a tender, delicious stalk so only the bottom 1/2-inch needs to be trimmed.) Serve this dish over a pile of orzo for a complete meal. If you like, cut the broccolini, feta and lemon into bite-size pieces and toss with the orzo.

Sheet-Pan Baked Feta With Broccolini, Tomatoes and Lemon

broccolini

grape tomatoes

red onion

lemon

cumin

red pepper flakes

Kosher salt

black pepper

orzo

basil

Heat the oven to 400 degrees with a rack set in the lower third. On a sheet pan, combine the broccolini, tomatoes, onion and lemon slices with the olive oil and toss. Add cumin and red-pepper flakes, season with salt and pepper, and toss again until evenly coated. Nestle the feta slices into the vegetables. (It’s OK if they break apart a little.)

Roast 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through but leaving the feta in place, until the broccolini is charred at the tips, the stems are easily pierced with a fork and the tomato skins start to blister and break down.

Serve over orzo or farro. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with the remaining lemon half for squeezing. Top with fresh herbs, if using.

Shakshuka is a one-skillet dish of eggs poached in a smoky, spicy, vegetable-laden tomato sauce.

Shakshuka

onions

garlic,

bell pepper (red, orange

smoked paprika

coriander

salt, divided

tomatoes,

heavy cream

feta cheese, crumbled

cilantro

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic and bell pepper and cook, uncovered, for about 8 minutes, until softened. Do not brown; reduce the heat if necessary.

Add the smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, 1-1/4 teaspoons of the salt, sugar, and tomatoes. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce is slightly thickened.

Add the chopped greens and heavy cream to the sauce, and continue cooking, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the greens are soft and wilted, about 10 minutes more. While the greens are cooking, set an oven rack in the top position and preheat the broiler.

Turn off (or remove the pan from) the heat. Using a spoon, make 6 wells/indentations in the sauce. Carefully crack an egg into each well, then spoon a bit of the sauce over each of the egg whites (this will contain them and also help them cook a bit faster than the yolks), being careful not to disturb the yolks. Sprinkle the eggs with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, then sprinkle the feta around the eggs. Set the pan on the stove over low heat and cover with a lid. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the egg whites are mostly set but still translucent on top (check frequently towards the end as cook time can vary). Remove the lid, transfer the pan to the oven, and broil until the eggs are cooked to your liking, 1 minute or less for runny yolks (see note below on cooking eggs further). Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the cilantro over top. Serve hot with bread.

<strong>Note:</strong> You can cook the dish entirely on the stovetop for just a few minutes longer (without using the broiler) if you like your egg yolks cooked through. If you like your eggs runny, however, I find that the stovetop-to-broiler method is the only surefire way to cook the egg whites thoroughly without overcooking the yolks. 

<strong>Make Ahead:</strong>  The tomato sauce can be made up to 2 days ahead of time and refrigerated, or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat the sauce on the stovetop and proceed with the recipe when ready to serve.

Similar to spanakorizo, a Greek spinach and rice dish, this easy, meatless meal features orzo, spinach, peas and scallions. It is deeply satisfying but still on the lighter side of pasta recipes, thanks to all those vegetables. A little feta gives it creaminess and tang, while some lemon zest brightens everything up. It makes a complete meal on its own, or, if you’re looking for something more substantial, serve this as a hearty side dish to roasted meats or fish.

One-Pan Orzo With Spinach and Feta

scallions,

garlic cloves, minced

baby spinach leaves (8 cups), coarsely chopped

salt

low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock

feta (3 ounces),

frozen peas, thawed (optional)

dill,

Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium, then melt butter, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in about three-quarters of the scallions (saving some of the green parts for garnish) and garlic, and cook until softened, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes.

Stir in spinach, adding in batches if it doesn’t all fit in the pan at once, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes.

Stir in stock and bring to a simmer. Stir in orzo, lemon zest and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until orzo is nearly cooked through and most of the liquid is absorbed, 10 to 14 minutes, stirring once or twice.

Stir in cheese, peas (if you like) and dill, cover the pan, and cook for another 1 minute, to finish cooking and warm the peas. To serve, sprinkle with more cheese and the reserved scallions.

Shakshuka may be at the apex of eggs-for-dinner recipes, though in Israel it is breakfast food, a bright, spicy start to the day with a pile of pita or challah served on the side. (It also makes excellent brunch or lunch food.) It’s a one-skillet recipe of eggs baked in a tomato-red pepper sauce spiced with cumin, paprika and cayenne. First you make that sauce, which comes together fairly quickly on top of the stove, then you gently crack each of the eggs into the pan, nestling them into the sauce. The pan is moved into the oven to finish. Shakshuka originated in North Africa, and like many great dishes there are as many versions as there are cooks who have embraced it. This one strays from more traditional renditions by adding crumbled feta cheese, which softens into creamy nuggets in the oven’s heat.

Shakshuka With Feta

onion,

red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

garlic cloves, thinly sliced

sweet paprika

cayenne,

plum tomatoes

black pepper,

feta, crumbled (about 1 1/4 cups)

cilantro,

sauce,

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low. Add onion and bell pepper. Cook gently until very soft, about 20 minutes. Add garlic and cook until tender, 1 to 2 minutes; stir in cumin, paprika and cayenne, and cook 1 minute. Pour in tomatoes and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; simmer until tomatoes have thickened, about 10 minutes. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed. Stir in crumbled feta.

Gently crack eggs into skillet over tomatoes. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until eggs are just set, 7 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with hot sauce.

Greek-Style Stuffed Peppers

beef

zucchini, coarsely grated (about 2 cups)

small onion, minced (about 1 cup)

bulgur

egg, lightly beaten

red bell peppers, halved lengthwise, cores and ribs removed

feta cheese

In a large bowl, combine the beef, spinach, zucchini, onion, bulgur, egg, oregano, salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Arrange the pepper halves cut side up in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and fill each pepper half with the meat mixture. Pour the tomatoes over the peppers and sprinkle with the feta cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until the meat mixture is completely cooked and the peppers are tender, about 25 minutes longer.

This recipe is good, and even better with some tweaks. The first time I made it I followed the instructions and thought it was delicious, but I had to cook for longer than the time stated because the peppers were still pretty crunchy. I probably cooked 1 hour with the foil on and another 20 with it off. The second time, I used an equal amount of uncooked rice instead of bulghur, I mixed in some mild Italian sausage with the ground beef, and I mixed some feta in with the meat in addition to adding feta on top. It was awesome like this! I also put the pepper halves in the oven to pre-bake while I prepped all the filling, and this reduced the cooking time to roughly what's stated in the recipe. Next time, I plan to use ground lamb instead of beef and maybe make some tzatziki sauce to go with!

Loved it. The bulgur was really a nice touch.I used lamb ground meat which a sauteed a little bit with the onions and the tomato i scooped before and then add them with the rest.I also added some more feta in the mixture.Delicious summer recipe and fullfilling.

Very good. Needed to add more salt and also would suggest mixing the feta cheese in with the meat filling.  Made way more filling than needed so I would buy an extra pepper to stuff.  Family loved them and they are healthy!

my family just loves this dish....however, i used other recipe reviewers suggestions and changed it up a tad. instead of bulgar, i use brown rice. i use italian seasoned ground turkey for a lighter taste and mix some feta and garlic into the stuffing mixture for extra taste.  italian seasoned stewed tomatoes are a great addition as well.  

So excited to see Ellie back.  Loved the stuffed pepper recipe.  Can’t wait to join her other classes.

Delicious. Love all the veggies and beautiful color. Because of limited time, I changed the cooking method to all skillet . I browned the meat, onions, 1tsp oregano and 1tsp cinammon (for the Mediterranean twist). I also added 3cloves of garlic. I used leftover cooked farro instead of bulghur. Dumped all the rest except cheese into the pan and let it simmer 10 minutes (red peppers also, cut into bitesize pieces). Laced it with cheese, stirred in.

This was delicious and a nice change from the usual stuffed pepper. I used leftover couscous instead of bulgar. Did not have the zucchini so omitted that also used diced tomatoes. Did not have feta cheese and substituted asiago cheese.  It was awesome and is a nice healthy and light dinner with a salad. Love it will make again. 

I've been looking for recipes that are healthy AND easy on the pocket. These greek-style stuffed bell peppers definitely fit the bill! Smelled great cooking and tasted great too. Thank you for sharing!

I think the recipe is very good, but needs some tweaking to make it great.  I made it with ground beef and sweet Italian sausage, but would stick to all ground beef next time, I added the equivalent amount of uncooked rice like others suggested and would do that again next time.  I cooked it for 60 minutes covered and 30 minutes uncovered which was perfect, but probably my biggest suggestion would be to add either a can of tomato sauce, tomato paste, or tomato soup because the juice was like water.  I think the watery juice was a great disappointment as we like to serve our stuffed peppers with mashed potatoes and the juice was too bland and too thin.

EXCELLENT! Instead of the ground beef however, my boyfriend and I used ground sausage. It was amazing and so filling!! 

No need to visit Greece for your saganaki fix. Make it at home. My prawn saganaki recipe uses fresh prawns, tomatoes and Greek feta. Don’t forget the ouzo!

Prawn Saganaki

250 g prawns (fresh, cleaned deveined and tails left intact)

red onion (finely diced)

garlic (finely minced)

red chilli (finely chopped)

pepper (bullhorn variety, finely sliced)

tbsp ouzo

200 g tomatoes (or 2 large tomatoes pureed in a blender)

flat-leaf parsley (finely chopped)

g feta cheese

salt and pepper

Heat the olive oil on medium heat in a large deep frying pan. Once heated through add the onion, garlic and chillis. Allow the mixture to soften and become translucent after a few mins.

Add the prawns and saute gently for a few mins.

Add the ouzo, tomatoes, parsley, salt and pepper and allow the mixture to come to a boil. Once it reaches boiling point, turn the temperature down to a medium-low simmer. Cook for 10 mins.

Transfer the prawn saganaki mixture to oven-safe ceramic bowls and crumble the feta on top. Place under a hot grill (broiler) until the feta melts and oozes into the sauce.

In this video, I’m going to show you how to cook the famous Greek dish known as prawn saganaki.

Prawn saganaki is a great summer dish and makes use of prawns (shrimp) cooked in a tomato sauce flavoured with a little ouzo and a variety of herbs.

First I’ll show you how to prepare the sauce for this delicious Greek appetizer.

I’ll start by heating a little olive oil in a pan. To that same pan, I’ll add some onions, garlic, a sliced bullhorn pepper and some chilli.  I’ll then fry the mixture and allow it to soften and become a little translucent.

Next up I’ll add the prawns followed by the ouzo, tomatoes, salt and pepper and parsley.  I’ll show you how to stir everything together and cook it for just under 10 minutes in the pan.

Finally, I’ll transfer the prawn saganaki to a ceramic dish, top it with some crumbled feta and put it under a hot grill (broiler) until the feta melts and becomes soft.

All that’s left to do is serve the prawn saganaki with a glass of ouzo and plenty of fresh bread to mop up the delicious juices.

Feta adds a tangy flavour that really works with the sweet lamb and juicy tomatoes in this Greek-style dish. Ready in 30 minutes, it makes a perfect, simple midweek supper.

Lamb steaks with feta, tomato and rosemary

chicken stock fresh, cube

couscous 100 grams

lamb leg steaks 2,

feta 100 grams, crumbled

cherry tomatoes 10, halved

rosemary 1 sprig, needles chopped

flat-leaf parsley a handful, chopped

lemon ½

The secret to making winter squash taste even better is to bump up its sweetness by roasting it, then pair it with sweet and sour ingredients, like this pomegranate molasses and honey dressing. Thinly slicing the squash speeds up roasting time, and, if you have access to precooked lentils, feel free to add them here. You can also substitute other soft, creamy cheeses for the feta, such as goat or sheep’s milk cheeses. Olive oil can leave a bitter aftertaste in emulsions, so, if you prefer to avoid it, use a neutral oil like grapeseed. Serve as a fall side, or alongside warm slices of generously buttered sourdough toast as a light meal.

Roasted Butternut Squash With Lentils and Feta

(uncooked) black or green lentils

cinnamon stick

garlic cloves,

butternut squash

roasted, salted pumpkin seeds

extra-virgin olive oil oil

pomegranate molasses

honey

cumin,

cayenne

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Pick any debris from the lentils, then rinse the lentils under running water. Transfer them to a medium saucepan, then add the cinnamon, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt.

Add enough water to cover everything by 1 inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low and let simmer until the lentils are tender but not mushy, about 20 minutes. Drain the lentils, discard the cinnamon and garlic, then transfer the lentils to a large bowl.

While the lentils cook, prepare the squash: Trim and discard the top and bottom ends of the squash. Peel the squash, halve it lengthwise, and remove and discard the strings and seeds. Slice the squash crosswise 1/4-inch thick and place the pieces on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Roast the squash until completely tender, slightly caramelized and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let cool for 10 minutes. Once cool, add to the lentils.

While the squash cooks, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, pomegranate molasses, honey, cumin, cayenne and black pepper. Taste and season to taste with salt.

Sprinkle the feta, scallions and pumpkin seeds over the lentils and squash. Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of the dressing over the lentils and squash. Serve warm or at room temperature, with the remaining dressing on the side.
