Baked Feta With Dill, Caper Berries And Citrus

“Baked feta is a dish you can—and should—learn to make by heart,” Copeland tells us. “This grazing-style dish is a filling lunch or a thrilling first course, served with toasted pita.” It serves four, but we’re not going to lie…we could easily finish this all by ourselves.

Copeland admits that “a true Catalanromescosauce—with freshly roasted red peppers, garlic, bread crumbs and olive oil—requires a bit of time.” But the good news? “Once you’ve made it, all you need is a bunch of gloriously fresh vegetables to create a centerpiece for any occasion.”
