Directions
- Crumble the feta into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade. Add the peppers, spice, oil, and garlic to the bowl. Pulse a few times to chop and combine the ingredients, pause, and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Process on high for a few minutes until the mixture is very smooth. The cheese will seem loose and dip-like, which is OK — it will thicken in the fridge. Add just a few drops of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
Scoop the mixture into a container with a tight-fitting lid and chill for two hours or longer, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up. Just before serving, garnish with a healthy pinch of Creole Spice!
Recipe Note
Note: If you’re buying feta at a Greek or Middle Eastern market, you’ll be able purchase it by the pound, but at the grocery it will be pre-packed. Don't worry, you’ll still get delicious results using 6 or 8 ounces of feta in this recipe! Home-roasted red peppers are perfection, but we often use jarred roasted peppers from Greece, Spain, or Macedonia, which are readily available at many grocery stores. Be sure to drain and pat them dry before chopping.
Note: Try this recipe with tofu for a vegan version!
