I had this recently in a restaurant and I loved it. I tried this recipe recently and it was good! I might add a little more spice next time, but I like mine hot.
It seems like a lot of ingredients but once I had all the ingredients laid out, it came together fast. I served it with pita bread.
Ingredients
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt (optional, for a creamier texture)
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil (adjust for desired consistency)
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (or lemon juice)
- 1 small red chili pepper, finely chopped (or ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes)
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for depth)
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Blend the feta:
- In a food processor, add the crumbled feta, olive oil, and yogurt (if using).
- Blend until creamy but slightly textured.
- Add flavor:
- Mix in red wine vinegar, chili pepper (or flakes), paprika, oregano, and garlic.
- Blend again until smooth and well combined.
- Adjust consistency:
- If too thick, drizzle in a little more olive oil or a splash of water.
- Serve:
- Transfer to a bowl and drizzle with extra olive oil.
