it's greek to me

Here are a couple of appetizer recipes adapted from Gourmed.

Cheese and Garlic Dip

1/2 lb feta cheese
3 cloves garlic
1/3 t oregano
2-4 T olive oil

Put cheese, garlic, and oregano in food processor, pulse until crumbly, then turn the machine on and add the oil slowly until the mixture is a creamy consistency. Serve with crackers or crostini.

Kalamata Olive Tapenade and Marscapone in Prosciutto

To make the tapenade, add (in a food prcoessor)

3 c kalamata olives
3 T capers (drained, rinsed, and sqeezed dry)
3 cloves garlic
3 t dijon mustard
2 t chopped fresh thyme (1 t dried)
2 T lemon juice
1/4 c olive oil

Mix until smoothly pureed.

To finish the recipe:

1/2 lb prosciutto, sliced about 1/16 of an inch thick
marscapone cheese
plain breadsticks

Take a breadstick and spread marscapone around the top part, about the same width as the slice of prosciutto. Lay the prosciutto out flat and the breadstick near one end. Spread a layer of the tapenade on the rest of the prosciutto and then roll the breadstick up in it, so it looks like an Italian ham popsicle.
