Description

Tyrokafteri is a spicy Greek feta cheese dip that gets its color from roasted red peppers and its kick from pepperoncini and cayenne pepper.

Ingredients

• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/2 cup chopped roasted red peppers
• 4 pepperoncini peppers, drained and stemmed
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

1 Pulse feta cheese in a food processor just enough to get uniformly small crumbles; transfer to a bowl.
2 Purée red peppers, pepperoncini, and cayenne pepper in the food processor until smooth. Add pepper purée to feta.
3 Add ricotta cheese and lemon juice to feta-pepper purée mixture; mix until dip is uniform in texture and color. Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight before serving.
