I had 1 lb of feta cheese and I just didn’t know what to do with it.
Couple of month ago I ordered a nice feta and roasted red pepper appetizer in a greek restaurant and I loved it, it’s called Htipiti. I don’t know exactly how they make it, but I made my own dip. I have roasted red peppers and artichokes in my pantry so I decided to make some dips. You can roast your red peppers or you can use peppers from a jar. I used some greek yougurt because my feta was very salty. Serve it with warm pita bread. If you want a spread add less greek yogurt.
Feta and Artichoke Dip
Ingredients:
1 small jar of marinated artichokes (7 oz)
½ lb. Feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoon greek yogurt
2 tbsp. marinade liquid from the artichokes
2 tbsp. lemon juice
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
Put all the ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth. You can use a hand mixer or a blender if you don’t have a food processor. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Feta and Roasted Red Pepper Dip
Ingredients:
2 large red peppers, roasted, peeled, and seeded
½ lb. Feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoon greek yogurt
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. lemon juice
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon black pepper
a pinch of red pepper flakes
Directions:
Chop the red peppers into large chunks.
Put all the ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth. You can use a hand mixer or a blender if you don’t have a food processor. Taste and adjust seasoning.
I love to eat this with vegetables. Just make a vegetable and dip platter with radish slices, pepper, or cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, carrots, celery whatever you have at home, add some pita bread and you are done. Delicious.
