- Make marinated olives:

- Prepare grill.
- Put feta on a platter and pour olives and marinade over it. Lightly brush pitas with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill pitas on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals about 1 minute on each side. (Alternatively, grill pitas in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.)
- Serve pitas warm with feta and olives. Serve cucumber spears on the side.
