Baked Feta With Romesco And Olive Tapenade
- Romesco:
- 1 red bell pepper
- Cooking spray
- 2 cups chopped peeled plum tomato
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts, toasted
- 1 (1-ounce) slice white bread, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Tapenade:
- 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
- 1/2 cup pitted picholine or other fruity olives
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Remaining ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups (5 ounces) crumbled feta cheese, divided
- 2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley
- Preheat broiler to high.
- To prepare romesco sauce, cut red bell pepper in half lengthwise, and discard seeds and membranes. Place pepper halves, skin sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet; flatten with hand. Broil for 8 minutes or until blackened. Place in a paper bag; fold to close tightly. Let stand for 10 minutes. Peel and chop.
- Reduce oven temperature to 425u0b0.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add tomato and garlic; cook 4 minutes or until garlic lightly browns, stirring frequently. Add red bell pepper and broth; cover and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in nuts and bread; cook 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a food processor or blender; add 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Process until smooth; transfer to a bowl.
- To prepare the tapenade, place olives, 1/4 cup parsley, and the next 3 ingredients (through 1/4 teaspoon black pepper) in a food processor. Process until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl.
- Coat a 1 1/2-quart broiler-safe glass or ceramic baking dish with cooking spray. Spoon half of romesco sauce into prepared dish, and top with 3/4 cup cheese. Dollop tapenade over cheese. Spoon the remaining romesco sauce over tapenade, and top with remaining 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese. Bake at 425u0b0 for 20 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Remove dish from oven.
- Preheat broiler.
- Broil 3 minutes or until top browns. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons parsley.
