GREEK TOMATO AND BREAD SALAD WITH FETA, BASIL, AND CAPERS
Since much of Greece's dense, crusty, grainy, wonderful bread has always been dried toast like for keeping, it stands to reason that the Greeks would also have a number of ways of soaking the bread to restore its moist chewy softness. Bread salads are proof of how the plainest, simplest of foods can be utterly matchless. If you want to make barley rings go to Greek Black Barley Rings (Mavrokoulouria) # 210035 Barley Rings remain one of the most unusual and renowned Greek breads. Traditional in Crete and the Southern Cyclades, they are the epitome of rural breads, they nourish, last, and feed through winter, keeping hearts strong. Barley rings are nutty, honest, truly down to earth. They stay crunchy even when soaked in liquid. They are the bread of choice for bread salad. They are marvelous crumbled in soup, and dunking in morning brew. Traditionally the rings are made with sourdough starter but this recipe uses yeast.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler and set the oven rack in the top position. Place the feta in a small (1.5-quart) baking dish and set aside.
- Heat the oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and sugar; cook, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes are softened and starting to burst, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the capers.
- Scatter the tomatoes around the feta and broil until the feta is softened and browned on top, about 4 minutes (but keep an eye on it as broilers vary greatly.)
Tips:
- Use high-quality feta cheese, ripe tomatoes, and fresh capers for the best flavor.
- If you don't have fresh capers, use jarred capers, but rinse them well to remove any excess salt.
- To make the dish even more flavorful, use roasted tomatoes.
- Serve the dish as an appetizer or a side dish with grilled meat or fish.

Feta cheese with tomato and capers is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed as an appetizer or a side dish. The combination of creamy feta cheese, ripe tomatoes, and briny capers is a perfect balance of flavors and textures.
