Ingredients

  • 1 pound block of sheep's milk feta sold in brine
  • 1 clove garlic peeled
  • 1/4 pound roasted red peppers
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper more or less to taste
garnish
  • chopped chives

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the feta in large chunks and add to the bowl of a food processor along with the garlic. Add the red peppers and process until mostly creamy, but still retaining a little texture. I like to pulse the machine for more control.
  2. Add the cayenne pepper 1/2 teaspoon at a time until it's just right for your taste.
  3. Dip can be put in an airtight container and refrigerated for several days.
  4. Serve garnished with chopped chives.
  5. Place a bowl of dip in the center of a large platter and arrange crudité around it. I used: French green beans, yellow pepper strips, radishes, baby zucchini, baby scallions, endive, red bell pepper strips, baby cucumber, baby carrots, purple cauliflower, golden beets, and watermelon radish.
