Barley rusks (dakos) are a specialty in Crete and are served in a variety of ways. Dakos are Greece's own Bruschetta.

Ingredients:

  • 2 barley rusk
  • 2 tomato
  • 2 slice feta cheese
  • 2-3 tbs olive oil, salt
  • 1 onion, oregano
  • 2 olives

Cooking directions:

  1. Soak the rusk in to the water and then wrap it in a clean tea towel to dry. 
  2. Mince the tomato and the feta and place on top of the rusk.
  3. Add the oil, salt oregano and if liked a little finely chopped onion.

Suggestions:

When you make Dakos, be generous with the olive oil and allow, it prevents the juices of the tomatoes from making the bread soggy. Serve immediately.
