Recipe #3 in the Spartan Oil #EVOOChallenge.
I use olive oil exclusively when I saute vegetables or protein for any recipe. One reason is olive oil is a monounsaturated fat, and is considered a good fatty acid (high density lipoproteins, HDLs) that protects against bad cholesterol, or low density lipoproteins (LDLs). One other reason is the taste – I love the taste of olive oil.
This recipes features the taste of the Mediterranean. The dill, olive oil and feta add just the touch to create a unique recipe. When I served this to my taste testers, this recipe received five stars! Easy to prepare and perfect for entertaining.
