"Dakos" is a popular appetizer of the island of Crete. A rusk (twice baken whole wheat or barley bread) is used as a base of this simple appetizer. If you can't find rusks you can toast thick sliced french bread (like a brushetta).
Ingredients
-
6barley or whole wheat rusks
-
3 Tbspolive oil, extra virgin
-
2medium size tomatoes, diced or grated
-
4 Tbspfeta or sour mizithra cheese, crumbled
-
1 Tbsporegano, dried
-
·salt to taste
How to Make "Dakos" Tomato &Feta Cheese Appetizer
- Briefly wet rusk by holding them under running water or quickly dipping in a bowl of water. Drizzle with half of the olive oil and season with very little salt. Don't forget you'll be adding Feta cheese later. Set aside.
- Finely chop, dice tomatoes or press through grater. Spoon tomato pulp over dakos, leaving a "well" in the center for the cheese. Spoon the cheese into the "well" on top of tomatoes. Sprinkle with oregano and drizzle with remaining olive oil. Ready to enjoy!
- The amount of Feta cheese and oregano added really all depends on your taste. Also the amount of capers & Kalamata olives I suggested, add according to your taste.
Variations: Rinced capers and Kalamata olives can be added
