The wet Cretan nut drizzled with olive oil, tomato, cheese, oregano and olives occupy a prominent place in our taste preferences. The dakos or 'owl'’ as it is otherwise called, it can be prepared either with the classic composition of materials or in many different variations, some more dietary and some calorically more burdensome... The standard recipe: You sprinkle a round nut with water to soften it and place it on a plate. You pour olive oil over the wet nut and leave it for a while to "pull". You peel the tomato, you rub her, you remove the spores, dry it well and mix it with chopped parsley, adding a little salt. You spread the mixture on the nut, add grated feta cheese and top with oregano and some chopped onion. Garnish with chopped olives, sprinkle with freshly ground pepper and serve immediately.
