Htipiti - Greek Red Pepper and Feta Dip
Description
This dip starts by roasting red bell peppers at a high temperature until their skins blister and darken, which softens the peppers and develops a smoky flavor. After roasting, the peppers are covered to sweat, making the charred skin easier to peel off. The peeled peppers are combined in a food processor with crumbled feta cheese, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. These ingredients blend together into a smooth paste with creamy, tangy, and mildly spicy elements. The dip can be served right away or chilled for a few hours to deepen the flavors.
Htipiti is typically enjoyed as a meze with bread or as a flavorful accompaniment to grilled dishes. Fresh chilies can be used instead of dried flakes to adjust the spice level according to personal taste.
Ingredients
- 2 red bell pepper cleaned and sliced in half white membranes removed
- 200 g feta cheese
- ¼ cup olive oil extra virgin
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes dried
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200 deg C / 180 deg C fan-forced. Clean your peppers and slice them in half. Place on a lined baking tray and roast for 20 minutes until the skin blisters and is dark.
- Place the roasted red peppers in a small bowl and cover with a plate. Make sure the plate provides a seal. We want to sweat the peppers and make it easier to peel the blistered skin.
- Remove the plate after ten minutes and clean the peppers by peeling the charred bits.
- Place the roasted red peppers, feta cheese, olive oil, chilli and seasonings in the food processor. Blend until the mixture comes together and forms a paste.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for a few hours and serve later.
Notes
- Fresh chilies may replace dried chili flakes for a different spice character and heat level.
- Adjust chili quantity to control the dip's spiciness.
