Dakos (Cretan Appetizer)

Dakos is a simple dish that is commonly served in taverns in Greece as a snack. It is made from whole grain bread crumbs of the same name – dakos, tomatoes, cheese. Despite its simplicity, it is a fairly satisfying dish.

Ingredients

• Whole grain rusks (or dakos) – 1 pc.
• Tomato – 1 pc.
• Feta cheese – 30 g
• Bulb onions – 0.5 pcs.
• Olives – 5-6 pcs.
• Olive oil – 1 tbsp
• Water – 1 tbsp
• Oregano – 0.5 teaspoon

Directions

1. We spread the biscuit on a plate. First of all, we soak it a little with water.
2. Rub the tomato on a medium grater (only the pulp, discard the peel).
3. We spread the tomato pulp on a biscuit.
4. Cut the onions into small cubes.
5. We spread the chopped onion over the tomatoes.
6. Cut the feta cheese into smaller pieces by hand.
7. We spread the cheese in a slide on the rest of the ingredients.
8. Sprinkle the cheese liberally with dried oregano, pour olive oil over the top of the snack. IMPORTANT: since feta is quite salty, you don’t need to salt the dakos.
9. Decorate the prepared Greek (Cretan) Dakos appetizer with olives, you can put a few olives on a plate, and serve the dakos to the table.

Enjoy your meal!
