Ingredients
For the whipped feta
- 1 1/2 cups feta cheese
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp brine from the feta (the liquid the feta is stored in)
- zest of half a lemon
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Toppings
- 1 1/2 cups chopped ripe peaches
- 2 tbsp liquid honey
- pinch chili flakes
- 1-2 tsp hot sauce
- 1/2 cup halved baby tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
- fresh mint for garnish
- fresh or toasted pitas for serving
Instructions
- Make the whipped feta by adding the feta cheese, feta brine, lemon juice, olive oil and lemon zest to a food processor and pulse until smooth and light.
- Make the peaches by adding a drizzle of olive oil to a pan and turning to medium heat; add the peaches and cook for 5-8 minutes until the peaches start to break down and turn into more of a jammy texture. Remove from the pan to a bowl and set aside to cool. (Alternatively, you could saute the peaches for just 1-2 minutes and then set aside in a bowl to cool).
- To make the hot honey, in a small bowl mix together the liquid honey, chili flakes and hot sauce. Taste and adjust by adding more chili flakes or hot sauce for a spicier honey.
- Once the peaches have cooled, assemble the dip by layering the whipped feta on a plate or in a low bowl. Next layer the peaches followed by tomatoes, pistachios and drizzle with desired amount of hot honey. Serve with fresh or toasted pitas.
Notes
- You can also serve with crackers of your choice or crostini.
