Fetiaska

Fetiaska is a traditional Greek dish that is often served as a main course. It is a type of casserole that is made with feta cheese, tomatoes, onions, and olive oil. The dish is typically baked in the oven until the cheese is melted and the top is golden brown.

History

The origins of Fetiaska can be traced back to the ancient Greek times. It was a popular dish among the Greek gods and was often served at their feasts. The dish was later adopted by the common people and has since become a staple in Greek cuisine.

Preparation

The preparation of Fetiaska involves several steps. First, the onions are sautéed in olive oil until they are soft and translucent. Then, the tomatoes are added and cooked until they are soft. The feta cheese is then crumbled into the mixture and everything is stirred together until it is well combined. The mixture is then transferred to a baking dish and baked in the oven until the cheese is melted and the top is golden brown.

Serving

Fetiaska is typically served hot, straight from the oven. It can be served as a main course or as a side dish. It is often accompanied by a side of Greek salad or pita bread.

There are several variations of Fetiaska that are popular in different regions of Greece. Some versions include additional ingredients such as spinach, bell peppers, or zucchini. There are also versions that use different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar cheese.
