Feta Cheese



  Feta Cheese is a brined curd cheese traditionally made in Greece. It is an aged crumbly cheese, commonly produced in blocks, and has a slightly grainy texture. It is used as a table cheese, as well as in salads, pastries and in baking, notably in the popular phyllo-based dishes and combined with olive oil and vegetables. It can also be served cooked or grilled, as part of a sandwich or as a salty alternative to other cheeses in a variety of dishes.
  If Feta Cheese is not available then here is an option for home made version. Well, an almost close to original option :)
  Make Cottage cheese from milk. Mix a brine of 2 tbsp salt with 2 cups water in a jar or plastic container. Place the cheese in the brine, and refrigerate for 24 hours. Use as required.
