TYROKAFTERI (SPICY FETA SPREAD)



Tyrokafteri (Spicy Feta Spread) image

Tyri = cheese, Kafteri = hot, as in spicy. So there you have it, a spicy feta cheese dip or spread. Goes great on an appetizer tray and makes anything dipped in it taste fantastic. A word of caution though - don't use the dried-up feta from the grocery store. Please use a good quality feta from an ethnic deli, or at least a mass produced feta that comes packaged in brine (TJ's or WF are good options). I found this recipe on Elly Says Opa - and believe me, you'll be saying "opa", too!

  • Add the peppers, feta, Greek yogurt, and cider vinegar to the bowl of a food processor and processes until fairly smooth.
  • Slowly stream in the oil, while continuing to pulse. You may need more or less, depending on your desired consistency.

Tips
###
  • Select high-quality feta cheese for the best flavor and texture. Look for a cheese that is firm and crumbly, with a slightly tangy flavor.
  • Use a food processor or blender to create a smooth and creamy spread. This will help to evenly distribute the flavors and ingredients.
  • If you are using a food processor, be sure to pulse the ingredients until they are combined, but not over-processed. Otherwise, the spread may become too runny.
  • If you are using a blender, start with a low speed and gradually increase it until the ingredients are combined. This will help to prevent the spread from becoming too airy.
  • Season the spread to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
  • Serve the spread immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use. The spread will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
