“This is a great meat-free recipe. Barbecuing a whole block of feta is a really interesting way to use it – you get a wicked texture contrast between the beautifully golden outside and the soft, creamy centre. The smoky flavour adds a subtle but beautiful twist to this delicious summery dish. ”

Tap For Ingredients

Method

  1. Light your barbecue and give the coals time to get nice and hot.
  2. Pick the oregano and parsley leaves, peel and slice the onions into wedges, prick the aubergine all over with a fork and halve lengthways.
  3. Add the feta to a small bowl with half the oregano leaves, a drizzle of olive oil and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the rest of the dish.
  4. Next make the tabbouleh. Cook the cracked wheat according to the packet instructions, then rinse and drain. Set it aside to cool a little.
  5. Pick and finely chop the mint and parsley, then finely chop the cucumber.
  6. Once the cracked wheat has cooled, mix in the mint, parsley and cucumber, a good squeeze of lemon juice and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Have a taste and tweak the seasoning to your liking, then cover and set aside.
  7. Once your barbecue is hot enough to start cooking, grill all of the vegetables and the garlic and, once beautifully charred on both sides, transfer them to a chopping board.
  8. Chop up all the veg together, squeezing the garlic cloves out of their skins and squishing the tomatoes. Roughly chop the parsley and remaining oregano leaves into the vegetables, season and drizzle with olive oil.
  9. Carefully griddle the whole marinated feta on the barbecue for about 3 minutes (this will depend how hot your barbecue is), or until golden and crispy, then gently turn and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
  10. Toast the pistachios in a small pan over a medium heat until lightly golden, then spoon over the honey and allow the nuts to caramelise, tossing regularly to stop them from catching in the pan (do not be tempted to touch them because they will be very hot!).
  11. After a couple of minutes, tip them onto a sheet of oiled greaseproof paper to harden and cool, then roughly chop and leave to one side.
  12. Spoon the tabbouleh onto a large serving dish, then top with the chopped vegetables.
  13. Place the griddled feta in the centre, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and scatter over the crispy smashed pistachios. To serve, crumble the feta over the top. Delicious served with toasted flatbreads.

FAQs

What should I eat feta with? ›

One of the easiest and more popular ways to incorporate Feta to a dish is to crumble it. Feta Crumbles are so versatile that you can use them to garnish pasta, watermelon, grapes, nuts, chickpeas, potatoes, salads, pizza, or eggs. It's the perfect tangy touch to elevate any dish.

Is feta good or bad for you? ›

While feta cheese provides you with an excellent source of nutrients like calcium and protein, it also contains high amounts of sodium and saturated fat. Feta is lower in fat than many other cheeses, however, and is considered a reasonable option to eat in moderation.

Should you marinate vegetables before grilling? ›

And as a bonus, marinating veggies can actually save you some time. Because marinades already contain seasoning and oil, all you have to do is toss them on the grill; no additional oil needed. They can go straight from marinade to grill without having to re-season.

What are the best vegetables to grill? ›

Almost every vegetable other than leafy greens are wonderful for grilling – here are my favourites:
  • zucchini.

  • eggplant / aubergine.
  • red onion.

What is one serve of feta? ›

One wedge of feta cheese, which weighs about 1 ounce or 28 grams, makes up a single serving and contains 76 calories. Because feta cheese made from sheep's milk has a higher fat content, the calorie count per serving may be slightly higher, depending on the specific producer and the method used to produce the cheese.

What other cheese goes with feta? ›

A feta salad with shaved Parmesan goes well together. Due to its inherent saltiness, feta does not pair or blend well with other cheeses. You might try serving mizthra along with it, as that is another salty Greek cheese but vegetables like tomato, cucumber, and red onion are a better match for feta.
