Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- 2 cloves garlic
Pulse the garlic in the food processor until finely chopped.
- 10–12 oz roasted red peppers
- 8 oz feta cheese
- crushed red pepper flakes
- ½ whole lemon
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup olive oil
Add the drained roasted red peppers, feta, crushed red pepper flakes, lemon juice, Greek yogurt and olive oil; pulse until smooth.
- salt
Taste; add more salt or crushed red pepper flakes if needed and pulse a few more times until smooth.
- pine nuts
Toast the pine nuts in a small skillet over medium heat, moving them around so they do not burn, until golden, three or four minutes.
Transfer the dip to a container and refrigerate three to four hours or overnight so the flavours intensify; keeps three to four days.
Chilling it ahead
- Calamata olives
- fresh parsley
- olive oil
Top with toasted pine nuts, roughly chopped olives, fresh parsley and a drizzle of olive oil.
