Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Feta cheese
- 2 medium Roasted red bell peppers (jarred or freshly roasted)
- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 small Red chili pepper (or hot red pepper)
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
If you are using fresh red bell peppers and chili pepper, preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Place the peppers on a baking sheet and roast for about 5 minutes, turning them halfway through to char evenly. Remove and let cool slightly. Peel off the skin and remove the seeds.
In a food processor, crumble the feta cheese into small chunks.
Add the roasted red bell peppers, roasted chili pepper (adjust the amount to your spice preference), Greek yogurt, garlic clove, olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Taste the dip and adjust for seasoning. You can add more olive oil, lemon juice, or chili pepper if desired.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if using.
Serve immediately with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables. You can also refrigerate the dip for an hour to allow the flavors to meld further before serving.
