This is a wonderful dip/spread with pita bread or pita chips. I fell in love with it after having it at a Greek restaurant, and I've been experimenting with different ways to make it. This is by far my favorite. Ingredients:
6 serrano peppers |
1 lb feta cheese, chopped |
4 ounces anthotiro or 4 ounces ricotta cheese |
2 -3 teaspoons greek yogurt |
3 teaspoons lemon juice (to taste) |
4 ounces extra virgin olive oil |
Directions:
1. Rinse peppers, seed and cut them in half lengthwise.
2. Boil the peppers for about 10-15 minutes or until the skin separates, remove from water and pull skin off (you should wear gloves for this).
3. Place peppers and remaining ingredients into a food processor and puree until smooth.
4. Serve at room temperature; or, if you prefer, chill for 1-2 hours before serving.
