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

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
