ROASTED FETA WITH HONEY

Roasted Feta With Honey image

A drizzle of honey and a blast of heat transform a standard block of crumbly feta into an unexpectedly luscious, creamy spread for pita and vegetables. This, with a hunk of crusty bread and a glass of chilled white wine, is the perfect warm weather supper. If you can't get your hands on thyme honey, the regular sort will do just fine.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 8-ounce slab Greek feta, blotted dry
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Greek thyme honey, or other honey
Freshly ground black pepper
Greek-style pita bread, toasted and cut into wedges
Heirloom tomatoes, roasted beets, nuts or pickled vegetables (optional)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Select a small oven-to-table earthenware dish or a small ovenproof sauté pan lined with aluminum foil to help transfer the cheese to a plate after roasting. Place the feta in the dish and cover with the olive oil. Bake until the cheese is soft and springy to the touch but not melted, about 8 minutes.
Preheat the broiler. Heat the honey in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water until it is fluid enough to be spread with a pastry brush and then paint the surface of the feta with it. Broil until the top of the cheese browns and just starts to bubble. Season to taste with black pepper. Serve immediately with pita wedges and, if desired, sliced heirloom tomatoes, roasted beets, nuts or pickled vegetables.

CHILE-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH HONEY, LEMON AND FETA

Chile-Roasted Chicken With Honey, Lemon and Feta image

A little sweet, a little spicy and very citrusy, this easy chicken recipe hits all the right notes, making it the kind of weeknight dinner you'll put on repeat. The feta adds a creamy, salty bite that's softened by the lemon and honey, while rosemary and red-pepper flakes round out the flavors. Serve this with a loaf of crusty bread or flatbread for scooping up all the tangy pan juices. You won't want to leave a drop behind.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and drumsticks (to substitute breasts, see Tip)
Salt and black pepper
2 large garlic cloves, finely grated or crushed to a paste
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving
2 fresh rosemary sprigs
1 lemon, preferably a Meyer lemon, thinly sliced and seeded
2 ounces feta, crumbled into large pieces (a heaping 1/2 cup)
Chopped mint, dill or parsley, for serving

Steps:

Season chicken all over with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, mix together garlic, honey, olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes. Add chicken and toss well with your hands, spreading the garlic paste all over the chicken pieces. (Don't worry if the honey is a little clumpy.) Add rosemary sprigs and lemon slices and toss to combine. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan with a silicone liner or parchment paper.
Spread chicken and lemons across a single layer in the lined pan, tucking in the rosemary sprigs. Drizzle oil generously over everything. Roast for 20 minutes.
Using tongs, turn over the chicken pieces, and give the lemons a stir. Sprinkle feta on top. Continue to bake for 20 to 25 minutes longer, until the chicken is deeply bronzed and cooked through, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh or drumstick registers 165 degrees. Serve garnished with chopped herbs and more red-pepper flakes, if you like.

Tips:

Choose the right feta cheese: Look for a block of feta that is firm and not too crumbly.
Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil will give the best flavor to your dish.
Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the feta blocks so that they can roast evenly.
Roast the feta until it is golden brown: This will take about 15-20 minutes.
Serve the roasted feta immediately: Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with fresh herbs for the best flavor.

Conclusion:

Roasted feta with honey is a delicious and easy appetizer or snack. It is perfect for parties or potlucks. The salty feta cheese pairs perfectly with the sweet honey and the roasted tomatoes add a touch of acidity. This dish is sure to be a hit with your guests!
