Tomato, Feta, and Red Pepper Cazuela image

In this easy tapas-inspired appetizer, creamy feta cheese is topped with a mix of red peppers, lemon zest, olives, and the juiciest tomatoes you can find. Let everything meld together, then warm it up in the oven and serve with toasted pita, naan, or lavash to sop it all up.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 red bell peppers
1 pound feta
2 plum tomatoes, cored and chopped into 1-inch pieces
4 peeled strips lemon or orange zest
1/4 cup small black olives (12 to 16), preferably Niçoise
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Pitas or flatbreads, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Place peppers directly over a gas flame (or char under the broiler), turning occasionally, until blackened and blistering, about 10 minutes. 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.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I used diced zucchini instead. It was a great substitute!

This is a great recipe for a low-carb diet. I used cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the chicken from this recipe. It was still delicious!

I had some trouble finding feta cheese, but I used goat cheese instead and it worked out great.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and chili powder to give it more flavor.
