BBC: Greek sheep and goat cull raises fears of feta cheese shortage

"...Such vaccination is allowed in an emergency under EU rules, and farmers are putting a lot of pressure on the government to request vaccines from the Commission's available stock.

However, the Greek government responds that mass vaccination could lead to Greece being classified as an endemic country for the diseases, which would bring restrictions on the export of sheep and goat's milk - and especially of feta cheese. ..."

Just a reminder that sometimes, I will literally roast a block of cheese and call it dinner.

I've posted about this before, but it's a bit of a staple because it's really great for a fast but filling supper.

## Ingredients

- A block of feta
- Some olive oil
- Honey
- Fresh or dried herbs such as thyme
- Salt and pepper

## Preparation

1. Set the oven to 400 Fahrenheit

2. Ready your block of feta, pat it dry with a clean cloth or towel. Place it in a pan for roasting. I use a 9x9 stoneware dish.

3. Add your herbs on top. I tend to use some thyme, oregano, and if I have fresh rosemary then that too (I don't like the texture of dried rosemary)

4. Cover with olive oil and place in the oven for 8-10 min. You want the cheese to be soft to the touch but not melted (use a fork or spoon, not your hand like Icarus)

5. Brush or pour honey over the top. Some folks like to warm up the honey and use a brush, I usually just pour some on top of it's liquid enough.

6. Return to the oven on broil until brown and bubbling across the top (1-4 min)

7. Season with salt and pepper and serve how you see fit.

Strike while the watermelon is chilled! Made a salad of watermelon, tomatoes, feta cheese and red onion.

Dressed with some balsamic, olive oil and a bit of lime juice. Basil for an extra treat. Oh – just a few Kalamata olives too.

Yay our garden!
