Instructions

FETA MARINARA DIP PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 375℉/190℃.
Line a 9 x 9 inch | 22 x 22 cm square mold like you would usually do and set aside. NOTE: For this recipe, I used my Square Mold placed on top of a medium perforated baking sheet. Set aside.
Arrange the cherry tomatoes and the thinly sliced garlic into one layer in your baking pan. Add the olive oil, season with Greek Oregano and pepper (To taste). Toss to coat. Place the Feta cheese at the center. NOTE: Salt is not necessary in this recipe, because Feta is naturally salty.
Roast for 30 minutes at 375℉/190℃. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your tomatoes from 25 minutes). It is ready when the tomato skin has softens and begins to burst.
Carefully the hot contents of your baking dish into a blender. Mix into a purée. Set aside.

MARINADE PREPARATION

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder and smoked paprika. Set aside.

CORN PREPARATION

Bring the oven up to 400℉/200℃.
Line a 9" x 13" Baking Sheet like you would usually do, set aside. NOTE: For this recipe, I used my 9 x 13 Fleximat placed on top of a medium perforated baking sheet. Set aside.
Slice the top and bottom of your corn so both ends are flat. Then, carefully slice lengthwise each ear into quarters.
Arrange the corn on top of your prepared baking tray and brush the entire marinade on top.
Roast for 7 minutes at 400℉/200℃ on one side, then carefully turn it over and continue to roast for an additional 7 minutes. NOTE: The corn will naturally curl giving it the rib shape. Once it is out of the oven, set aside to cool down.

ASSEMBLY

To serve add all your ribs in your service platter, arrange the slices of lime, scoop dollops of the Feta Marinara Dip and sprinkle the chopped Italian Parsley. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
