This vibrant and flavorful dip is made with roasted red peppers, fiery chili peppers, tangy feta cheese, and fresh herbs. It's easy to make and packs a punch of flavor, making it a great addition to your snack or appetizer spread.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Wash and dry the red pepper and chili peppers.
- Place the red pepper and chili peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the skins are charred and blistered.
- Turn the peppers occasionally for even roasting.
- Remove the roasted peppers from the oven and transfer them to a bowl.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a plate to let the peppers steam for about 10 minutes. This will make peeling the skins easier.
- Once cool enough to handle, peel off the skins and remove the seeds.
- In a food processor or blender, add the peeled and deseeded peppers, feta cheese, garlic cloves, and fresh parsley.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary. Depending on your preference, you might want a pinch of salt or a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance the flavors.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
Tips:
- Roast the red pepper and chili peppers until the skins are charred and blackened to enhance the smoky flavor.
- Allow the roasted peppers to cool in a sealed container or plastic wrap; this makes peeling off the skins much easier.
- Blend the ingredients until smooth for a creamy dip, or pulse a few times for a chunkier texture if desired.
- Add salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon juice to taste if you want to adjust the seasoning after blending.
- Serve with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
