Tirokafteri (Spicy Greek Feta Dip)
Description
Tirokafteri is a spicy Greek feta dip made with roasted peppers and dried chile flakes for some heat. Make it as spicy or mild as you like.
Ingredients
•
10 ounces crumbled feta cheese
•
2 medium roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
•
2 tablespoons olive oil
•
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
•
1 small garlic, minced
•
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or more to taste
•
1 tablespoon Kalamata olives
Directions
1
Combine feta cheese, red peppers, oil, vinegar, garlic, and pepper flakes in a food processor; puree in pulses until smooth. Avoid over-mixing as the heat from the food processor can make the tirokafteri runny.
2
Taste and adjust seasoning as desired, adding more red pepper flakes, vinegar, or garlic to taste.
3
Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with olives, if using. Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving.
