This is an amazing appetizer that one of my friends found online and sent to me! Flavors kicked up to the max! Ingredients:
8 oz block feta cheese |
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour |
2 tbsp. rice wine vinegar |
2 tbsp. capers, drained |
1 clove garlic, finely chopped |
1 tsp. grainy mustard |
1 tbsp. cilantro, chopped |
1/4 cup olive oil |
zest and juice of one lime |
salt and fresh-ground pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Drain cheese and pat dry with paper towel.
2. Slice into eight equal pieces, cover and refrigerate for 10-minutes.
3. While the cheese is draining, in a glass bowl, whisk together the rice wine vinegar, capers, garlic, mustard, cilantro, 2 Tbsp. olive oil, lime zest and juice.
4. Season the flour with salt and fresh-ground pepper to taste.
5. Dredge each slice of cheese in the flour and coat thoroughly.
6. Heat a medium-sized non-stick skillet to medium-high.
7. Add remaining 2 Tbsp. olive oil.
8. When hot, add the cheese and cook on each side for one minute, or until golden brown.
9. Arrange cheese on serving plates and drizzle with dressing.
10. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve immediately.
