Whipped feta dip with hot honey, figs, olives and pistachios

If using dried figs, soak them in steaming hot water a few minutes to soften.

In a food processor, combine feta, sour cream, grated garlic, lemon juice and a little olive oil. Pulse to break up, then run until smooth; break up any chunks of feta and pulse again until smooth and thick.

Spread on a plate and make swirls with a spoon.

Whisk honey with hot sauce, tasting and adding more hot sauce for more heat.

Drizzle the hot honey over the dip; garnish with chopped figs, Kalamata olives and finely chopped pistachios, and drizzle with olive oil.
