BAKED TOMATOES WITH FETA & DUKKAH

Steps:

• First, make the dukkah, stir the ingredients together and set aside. For the flatbreads, stir the flour, yeast, sugar and salt together in a large bowl. Add 300ml lukewarm water and mix to form a soft, sticky dough. Tip the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 5 mins until the dough is smooth. Return the dough to the bowl, cover and leave in a warm place to prove until doubled in size, about 1 hr.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the risen dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and divide into four pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then roll out each ball into a rough oval, around 4mm thick. Carefully transfer the dough ovals to two large non-stick baking trays. Brush with the olive oil and sprinkle evenly with the sesame seeds. Bake for 15 mins until golden and firm to the touch. Transfer the baked flatbreads to a wire rack and leave to cool.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Cut the tomatoes in half through the equator and arrange in a large ovenproof dish, cut-side up. Season with a pinch of sea salt, some black pepper and the sugar, if needed. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle over the feta and dukkah.
• Bake for 20-25 mins until the tomatoes are tender and juicy and the feta is golden, but not too dark. Leave to rest for 5 mins, then scatter over the fresh herbs. Serve warm with the flatbreads alongside.

BAKED FETA-STUFFED TOMATOES

• In medium bowl, stir together tomato pulp, 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup fine, dry breadcrumbs; 2 tablespoons chopped green onions; 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley; and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• Spoon mixture evenly into tomato shells, and place in a 13x9-inch baking dish.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

TOMATOES WITH FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Arrange tomato slices on a serving plate. Sprinkle with feta cheese. Drizzle with vinegar; sprinkle with basil and pepper.

ROASTED TOMATOES AND LENTILS WITH DUKKAH-CRUMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• To make dukkah, put hazelnuts in a dry skillet and toast over high heat until nuts smell roasted. Do not go too far, as they burn easily. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly, then crush in a mortar to a coarsely ground mixture. Put sesame and nigella seeds in dry skillet and toast until golden brown. Follow with sunflower seeds. Coarsely crush all toasted seeds and add to nuts. Toast coriander seeds until fragrant and coarsely grind. Repeat with peppercorns and cumin seeds. Combine nuts, seeds and toasted spices with the paprika and sea salt. Store in airtight container until needed. Alternatively, place all toasted spices and seeds together in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add nuts at end and pulse until they are coarsely ground.
• For tomatoes, heat oven to 375 degrees. Lay tomatoes on single layer in roasting pan. Mix olive oil and harissa together and toss with tomatoes to coat, ending cut-side up; sprinkle with sugar and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until caramelized in parts and slightly shrunken.
• Meanwhile, cook lentils. Heat oil in saucepan and gently sauté onion, celery and garlic until soft but not browned. Add lentils and stir. Add thyme and bay leaf. Pour in 3 cups of water, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until lentils are just tender, about 15 to 25 minutes. When cooked, lentils should absorb all liquid (drain any excess liquid if they haven't, or add a little more water if they dry out while cooking). Remove thyme and bay leaf. Add lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil and cilantro. Taste for seasoning.
• Cook the eggs in boiling water for 6 minutes. They should still be a little runny in the middle. Rinse in cold water and once cool enough to handle, quickly peel. Roll lightly in dukkah and set each on top of a serving of lentils and tomatoes. Break the egg in half to see yolk (optional) and sprinkle more dukkah on top. Serve immediately.

DUKKAH ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
• Place potatoes and garlic cloves in a 11x13-inch baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil mixture and toss to coat.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, stirring potatoes every 10 to 15 minutes.
• In a small bowl, mix butter and dukkah. Brush over potatoes, then return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are soft and golden. Sprinkle with salt and garnish with parsley.

GREAT APPETIZER: OVEN BAKED FETA WITH TOMATOES & PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚F.
• Slice the pearl tomatoes horizontally (each one in four pieces) and place on paper towels to drain. (If you are using one large tomato, cut the end pieces and slice the rest in six slices). After 3-4 minutes, turn them over and place on new paper towels. Cut the pepper into four rings and set aside.
• Oil well a small, shallow ceramic baking dish (or four individual ceramic ramekins) and place half of the tomato slices at the bottom. Sprinkle with some sea salt and crushed pepper flakes. Top with half the bell pepper slices.
• Arrange the two Feta pieces on top of the tomato/pepper layer, place the remaining tomato slices on top of each piece of cheese, and place the rest of the bell pepper rings on the tomato. Drizzle liberally with the extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with oregano and some more pepper flakes, and transfer to the middle of the oven.
• Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the feta turns a light-golden color and the oil is sizzling. If you want to deepen the color, you can place the dish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end of the cooking time.
• Brush some olive oil on the slices of good, multigrain bread, and grill on both sides. Serve the baked feta immediately with some warm grilled bread.
