- 1 tbsp capers
- 1 block feta roughly 8oz

Preheat oven to broil and place rack in center.
In a dutch oven or heavy bottom pot, heat over medium heat. Add a large glug of olive oil. Add the tomatoes with a good pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat up tomatoes for a couple minutes, then add the garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes. You want the tomatoes soft, able to be crushed with a little pressure. Stir through capers at the end.
Remove from heat. In the center, move tomatoes aside and place feta block. Place a couple springs of rosemary and or thyme over tomatoes if you'd like. Broil for 5 minutes. keep your eye on it so you don't burn the tomatoes. Every oven is different. Ours takes about 5 minutes on the center rack. Remove and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over it. Serve with a fresh baguette.
