The famous dakos( Greek-Cretan starter)

A very common side dish from the island of Crete(south Greece)

Ingredients
4 barleycorn cookies(in Greece we call them dacos)

2 tomatos

100 grms goat cheese

2 spoons extra virgin olive oil

3 olives(into pieces)

oregano

basil leaves for decoration

just a snap of sugar

Method
Just pass for 2 seconds the cookies under a flown water. This will make them smooth.
Mash the 2 tomatos into a blender and drain them to remove the liquid part of tomatos.
Mix tomatos with oregano,sugar and olive oil. Place this mixture on the \" dacos\" and then add goat cheese and olives.
Drink a dry aperitif and eat them as a starter.
