A bold and creamy Greek feta dip (tirokafteri) blended with yogurt, roasted peppers, and a kick of spice—perfect with pita, veggies, or as a sandwich spread.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz block feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or cream cheese
  • 1 roasted red pepper or 1 fresh chili (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes or more to taste
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or dill, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crumble the feta into a food processor or blender.
  2. Add Greek yogurt (or cream cheese), roasted pepper or chili, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic if using.
  3. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
  4. Adjust seasoning with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste.
  5. Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with herbs or extra chili flakes if desired.

Notes

  • Use roasted jalapeños or fresh chili for sharper heat.
  • For a tangier dip, add more lemon juice or a splash of vinegar.
  • Add sun-dried tomatoes for a Mediterranean variation.
  • Smoked paprika gives a smoky depth.
