Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lb cherry tomatoes or a mix of small tomatoes (grape, sungold, etc)
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 1 block feta roughly 8oz
  • fresh rosemary, thyme, parsley *optional
  • salt & pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to broil and place rack in center.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
