Wonderful!!!! It was hard waiting for the 2 weeks but well worth it. Served this to guests who raved about it. I took your advice and served with toasted french baguette and chopped tomatoes. Great to have on hand! Thank you for sharing, Pink! Made for KK`s Greek Forum. -
I have made something similar to this in the past and made this a few days ago but omitted the coriander seeds as I did not have any, just tasted the feta today and it is wonderful I look forward to it in the next couple of weeks when the flavor intensifys even more, thank you PD, this was made for KK's forum Veggie tag game -
The two weeks have passed, JUST, and I have tried this delicious recipe out today with home-made oat bread for a delectable light lunch! I made it as posted and used a medley of peppers - white, black, pinks and green for a pretty as a picture dish. The flavours were infused throughout the mixture as well as the feta cheese - this is 10 star IMHO! Merci darlink! Karen/FT:-) -
Great taste and love the flavor combination! I didn't wait 2 wks. to try this. Used in a salad and it was great! I'll try it with toasted bread soon! Made for Everyday is a Holiday game.
