Roast Capsicum with Feta and Olives
This is a very Greek way to serve capsicums. The best way to eat them is to mash them together with the feta using a fork, and then slap it all on some grilled pita bread. A little Greek music in the background is recommended for the full experience.
Serves:
4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 red capsicums (bullhorn variety, if available)
- 200g feta cheese
- 1/4 cup black Kalamata olives
- extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Tips
