Green Tomato Fondue

Ingredients

• 3 green tomatoes split in half lengthwise
• 1/2 cup ouzo
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1/2 cup of extra virgin Greek olive oil
• 3 cups goats milk feta
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup mixed chopped herbs like summer savory, basil, thyme, sage, and/or oregano
• 3 pita breads torn into halves

Instructions

1. 1
   Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
2. 2
   Place the green tomatoes into a casserole dish and season all sides with salt and pepper. Add ouzo, white wine, and olive oil.
3. 3
   Turn them onto the cut side and roast in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork.
4. 4
   Allow the tomatoes to cool for 10 minutes to give up more juices. Reserve these juices for the feta mixture. Crumble the feta into the work bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add the juices from the roasted tomatoes and a half cup of water.
5. 5
   Blend until smooth and creamy, approximately 2 minutes.

   Pour the feta into the bottom of a baking dish that just holds all of the tomato halves.
7. 7
   Bake the tomatoes in the feta for about 10 minutes until it is soft and bubbly.
8. 8
   Sprinkle with chopped herbs. Serve with grilled shrimp or pita bread.
