Ingredients

• 200 grams Feta cheese
• 2 medium Roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 large Garlic cloves
• 1 small Red chili pepper (fresh or red chili flakes)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons Oregano (dried or fresh)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Crumble the feta cheese into small chunks and set it aside in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Drain the roasted red peppers if using jarred ones, and pat them dry with a paper towel. Chop them into smaller pieces for easier blending.

Step 3

Peel the garlic clove and finely mince or leave it whole if your blender can handle it.

Step 4

If using fresh red chili peppers, deseed them for less heat or leave the seeds for extra spice. Chop roughly.

Step 5

In a food processor or blender, add the crumbled feta, roasted red peppers, Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic, chili pepper, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse the food processor instead of blending continuously.

Step 7

Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more chili or lemon juice to suit your spice and tang preferences.

Step 8

Transfer the Tirokafteri to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little extra olive oil on top for garnish.

Step 9

Serve immediately with warm pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 3 days to allow the flavors to meld further.
