Transfer to a bowl, cover with a plate, and let stand until cool. Scrape skins off with a paring knife or paper towel. Remove and discard stems, ribs, and seeds. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
• Divide feta between 4 small baking dishes or cazuelas (or use one 10-inch ovenproof skillet); top with tomatoes, roasted peppers, zest, and olives. Season with pepper and drizzle with oil.
• Cover each dish with parchment-lined foil and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. (Or, if using a skillet, place directly on oven rack.) Bake until warmed through, 10 to 15 minutes; uncover and continue baking until cheese is lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes more. Lightly char pitas over flame (or under broiler) and serve on the side.

FETA AND RED BELL PEPPER PIZZA

Steps:

• Prepare grill:
• Open vents in lid and bottom of a kettle grill and put 25 briquets on each of 2 opposite sides of bottom, leaving middle clear. Oil rack and position it with flaps over briquets (for adding more briquets), 5 to 6 inches above them. Light briquets. (They're ready when grayish white, 20 to 30 minutes.)
• Shape pizza dough while grill heats:
• Halve dough and form each half into a disk. Dust dough and your hands with flour. Holding 1 edge of 1 piece of dough in the air with both hands and letting bottom touch work surface, move hands around edge (like turning a steering wheel), allowing weight of dough to stretch round to roughly 6 inches. Flour your fists and with them stretch dough from center of underside, turning dough to maintain a rough circle, until about 10 inches in diameter.
• Put round on a lightly floured foil-lined baking sheet, then lightly flour top of dough and cover with another sheet of foil. Repeat shaping with remaining piece of dough and stack on top of first round, lightly flouring and covering with foil.
• Make pizzas:
• Stir garlic into oil.
• Discard foil from top crust and lightly brush with 1 tablespoon garlic oil.
• Holding foil underneath, flip crust, oiled side down, onto rack of grill. Repeat with remaining crust. Cover grill and cook until undersides of crusts are golden brown, about 4 minutes.
• Turn crusts over with 2 metal spatulas, then brush each with 1 tablespoon garlic oil and sprinkle with bell peppers, feta, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover grill and cook 5 to 7 minutes more, or until undersides are golden brown and cheese is slightly melted.

SWEET POTATO, SPINACH & FETA TORTILLA

Steps:

• Pierce the potatoes a few times on each side. Microwave on high for 5-8 mins until soft, then set aside to cool a little.
• Heat the oil in a 20cm ovenproof frying pan and wilt the spinach for a minute or two (you might have to do this in batches). Cut each potato in half lengthways and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, keeping it in big chunks. Whisk the eggs.
• Add the sweet potato to the pan and stir to combine with the spinach - don't break it up too much. Pour in the egg and swirl around so it fills any gaps in the pan. Scatter over the feta and cook for 4-5 mins over a low heat until the bottom and sides are set.
• Place under the grill for 1-2 mins to cook the top - poke a knife into the centre to ensure it's cooked through. Cool before slicing into wedges. Will keep chilled for up to a day.
