Greek Feta and Red Pepper Dip




In need of a little mid week treat?

You all know I have a complete love affair with Greek food. It is everything Irish food would be if we had a better climate, I think.

Dips from the shop never stand up to the ones you make yourself, and I always prefer to make my own. So when a dip is as easy to whip up as this one, you’ll never look back. Really, there’s no way to make this more complicated than throwing ingredients into a food processor.

Served with warm pita bread it’s a meal all of its own, but it is also delicious as a little side to a Greek feast.

And here's one I prepared earlier! Spanakopita, feta dip, and aoili.



Ingredients
  • 200g feta, roughly chopped (save a little back for a topping)
  • 100g roasted red peppers
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • Pinch cayenne
  • Salt and pepper
  • Sesame seeds


Method

Place everything (except the extra bit of feta and the sesame seeds) in the food processor. 



Blitz for a few seconds until you have a rough dip.



Decant into a cute little bowl and scatter with the extra feta and sesame seeds.



Serve!
