One should not be considered as a real Greek, if on his table - at least on a Saturday or Sunday meal - there's not a "Bouyourdi''....
Let me explain myslef...Bouyourdi, is a tasty appetiser or side dish - very easy to prepare!
The recipe is for 4 people and if you want to serve it in one ceramic dish, it should be about 20 - 25 cm diameter and 5 cm high.
Alternatively you can split it into 2 bowls, like the one in the photo, or even serve it in small individual ceramic bowls.
Ingredients
- 6 medium size ripe tomatoes
- 300g original feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped red chilli ( no matter if chilli is from Mexico)
- 4 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, preferably Greek
- Salt, as much as you like
Preparation
Cut the tomatoes into 1cm slices.
Put 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the ceramic bowl(s).
Put a layer of tomatoes on top of the oil.
Sprinkle a little salt, but not too much as the feta is salty.
Spread 1/3 of the feta crumbled on top.
Sprinkle 1/3 of the chilli on top.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add the tomatoes, salt, feta and chilli as before.
Add another tablespoon of olive oil and once more add layers of tomato, feta and chilli.
Add the final tablespoon of olive oil on top.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 – 40 minutes.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE
YOUR BOUYOURDI IS CRAVING FOR FRESH & HOT BREAD AND CHILLED RETSINA, SO DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE NOT HAVE LOADS OF THEM WHEN READY TO BEGIN THE FEAST!!
YAMAS!!
