This Greek , traditional , authentic , simple to make , perfect tasting , hungerhealing appetizer will blow your mind away .... Its origen is from the island of Santorini or Thyra , Cyclades Islands Complex , Greece . Read more The original recipe needs Santorinian "tomatinia" ( a species of very small sized tomatoes , due to minimal irrigation because of water being scarce in those years ) and a Santorinian type of cheese . I have used regular tomatoes and Feta cheese for ease purposes ( shame on me .... ) . You fellow Chefs can use Italian pommodori and Italian Pecorino cheese as substitutes which will be the closest you will get to the original . Best enjoyed with some Vinsanto Santorinian wine while watching the world famous Santorinian Sunset ( voted internationally as the Most beautiful in the world , for more than 25 times ) !! I have pics of it under my avatar , chech it out .... Enjoy people ..... !! See less

Thank you so much HH. This is the recipe I asked about, as I wanted an original. (I think the computer had too much ouzo.) This would be great with a dollop of Greek yogurt or tzatziki.
