Fiery Feta Dip.

This 4 Ingredient Fiery Feta Dip (Tirokafteri Inspired) is both savory and spicy and is sure to have you coming back for more.

One of my favorite weeknight restaurants when I lived in California was a cozy Greek-style spot called Opa!. They served a feta and pepper dip with a perfect spicy kick — creamy, tangy, and just a little fiery.

After moving back to Denmark, I decided to make my own version. This is what I came up with — simple, bold, and ready in minutes.

Enjoy it as a steak sauce, or serve it with warm pita bread, crisp vegetables, or even grilled chicken.

Ingredients:

  • 16.5oz jar roasted red peppers

  • 1 clove of garlic

  • 5oz/150g crumbled feta cheese

  • 1 serrano or jalapeño pepper — use your preferred pepper to adjust the spiciness.

Directions:

Drain your roasted red peppers and place them in a food processor or blender.

Add the garlic and chili pepper, then blend until smooth.

Add the feta cheese and pulse a few times until well mixed. For a chunkier texture, stir the feta in by hand after blending the other ingredients.

Chill for 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.

Enjoy!
