Just before it is ready, add the feta.
* Sofegada is the Cretan name for vegetable stew, tracing back to the Venetian Era. Sofegada has no restrictions in the ingredients used. In the old times, when people lived on seasonal products only, in order to cook enough food for the whole family, they had to use all the remaining vegetables and herbs they could find in their garden.
