Riganada was a traditional way of using up very stale bread by combining it with local ingredients. Nowadays we don’t often have stale bread so we use thick slices of bread toasted. Usually served as a starter or as part of a meze, riganada also makes a delicious snack.
Ingredients:
1 loaf of bread (from the bakery)
4-5 tomatoes finely chopped
olive oil
oregano
salt (optional)
400-500 grams feta cheese, crumbled
