From the Greek Gourmet Traveler Summer 2006 edition for Kerasma. This looks like bruschetta but with a spicy cheese spread topped with pieces of green pepper. Prep time is chill time. Ingredients:
100 g cream |
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes (use boukovo if you can find it) |
1 1/2 tablespoons greek extra virgin olive oil |
250 g feta |
1 teaspoon sweet paprika |
2 green peppers, diced |
1 tablespoon greek extra virgin olive oil (for the peppers) |
salt |
pepper, freshly ground |
12 slices stale bread, 6 x 2 . 5 cm |
Directions:
1. Warm the cream in a small saucepan, taking care not to boil.
2. Sauté the boukovo in the olive oil for 30 sec. over medium heat.
3. Process the feta, hot cream, boukovo, and paprika at high speed until creamy. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
4. Mix the peppers with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
5. Toast the bread, spread a little of the cheese spread on them and decorate each with a few peppers.
6. Serve.
