The History of Feta

FETA is a white, salty, semi-firm cheese. Traditionally it was made from sheep or goat's milk but is now also made with cow's milk. After feta is formed in a special mold, it's sliced into large pieces, salted and soaked in brine. Although feta cheese is mostly associated with Greek cooking, "feta" comes from the Italian word "fette", meaning slice of food.

Full-Bodied Red Wine

I substituted ground lamb and use fresh baby spinach instead of lettuce. Grilled them in my grill pan. Made my own yogurt-cucumber sauce with a little dill and a splash of lemon juice. YUMMY!!
