Add the onion after whisking a bit, give everything a good mix, then set aside for 10 minutes. This allows the onion to soften!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"recipe-method__list-item\">\n<p class=\"recipe-method__list-item-text\">Meanwhile, toast the pitta bread, then split it in half, recommended lengthways, and toast again until both sides are crisp. Leave to cool.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>Once cool split into bite-sized pieces.<\/li>\n<li class=\"recipe-method__list-item\">\n<p class=\"recipe-method__list-item-text\">To make the crispy feta, heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Break the block of feta in half, lay the pieces in the pan, and cook without moving for 5 minutes. Leave to cool slightly then carefully remove from the pan using a palette knife.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"recipe-method__list-item\">\n<p class=\"recipe-method__list-item-text\">Add the pitta bread pieces, cucumber, pepper, tomatoes, and pomegranate seeds to the bowl of red onions and toss them together. Divide the salad between two bowls and top with the feta and a pinch of oregano.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em><strong>Banner and Image Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/\">BBC<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This recipe is courtesy of\u00a0BBC GoodFood.
