Koukouvagia.

This is a classic greek (from crete?) dish called koukouvagia (means owl). It's fantastic and really delicious. Basicly you need a handfull of nice ingredients. Much like Italian food, Greek food depends on the freshness of the  ingredients, them selves being the flavour.

This recipe is really easy. The only hard thing is to find the bread. It's a dry bread from Greece called paximadi. It's a hard bread with lots of flavour and wonderfull if you "cook" it right.


This is how it looks when it has been carried in your luggage all the way from Greece :)


So you start of by quickly rinsing the bread under cold water. I just ran it trough water out of the tap. But not too much so it doesn't get soggy.


There should also be one big red onion amongst there. Preferebly from Greece (so sweet, so good). But there isn't. Because I didn't have any at home. Sorry. I feel ashamed. 

Anyhow you grate the tomatos, the feta-cheese and the non-existing onion. Parsley is not classic, but it's good.


Pour some nice oliveoil over the bread and start of with the tomato. If this would be real Greek tomatos there would be juices running all over the place, but they aren't. They are from Spain and probably grown in a tent or something similar. Whaevva.

If you have onion (good for you!) put that on top of the tomato.


Then put on your grated feta-cheese. 


Finish of with a really HUGE glug of oliveoil and the parsley and of course some dried oregano. Voíla! Enjoy!!
