Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams feta cheese
- 120 grams Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 150 grams cherry tomatoes
- 10 pieces kalamata olives (pitted)
- 1 piece garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Spread the cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Add the garlic clove (leave it unpeeled) to the sheet.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the tomatoes and garlic. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Roast the tomatoes and garlic in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the tomatoes are blistered and slightly caramelized. Remove and let cool slightly.
In a food processor, combine the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and roasted garlic (squeeze it out of its skin). Blend until smooth and creamy.
Chop the kalamata olives into small pieces and set aside. Roughly chop the roasted cherry tomatoes.
Transfer the feta mixture to a serving bowl. Gently fold in the roasted tomatoes and olives, reserving a few for garnish.
Sprinkle the dip with red chili flakes, fresh oregano (if using), and a drizzle of olive oil for presentation.
Serve with pita chips, crusty bread, or fresh vegetable sticks. Enjoy!
