FETA WHIPPED WITH BASIL, LEMON, AND PEPPER



Feta Whipped with Basil, Lemon, and Pepper image

Feta is the Greek culinary answer to everything. Greek cooks savor their national cheese on its own, but more often than not they use it as the base for myriad dips and spreads, or in fillings, stuffings and gratins. This recipe is a not-so-classic rendition of the time-honored feta cheese spread called htipiti. It calls for basil, which Greeks do not use as readily as mint and oregano. You can use the dip as a filling for peppers, too. Try stuffing raw green or red peppers with the mix, refrigerating until the cheese firms up, and then cutting the peppers into rounds. This dip may be made two to three hours ahead of time and kept covered in the refrigerator.

Time 15m

Yield 3 cups (8 to 10 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups (about 12 ounces) crumbled feta, preferably Greek
3 scant tablespoons dried basil

6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest, cut into very thin strips (julienne)

Steps:

  • Pulse together the feta, basil, and peppercorns in a food processor until combined. Add the olive oil and lemon juice, alternating between each and pulsing after each addition, until the mixture is dense but spreads easily. Remove to a serving plate, garnish with lemon zest, and serve.

Arrange the lettuce leaves on 1 large or several individual plates and spoon the feta salad on top. Serve immediately.

CHARRED SCALLION DIP WITH LEMON AND HERBS



Charred Scallion Dip With Lemon and Herbs image

This creamy scallion dip could be the cooler cousin of ranch dressing or sour cream and onion dip. Grilled scallions add smokiness, while fresh chives and raw scallions lend brightness to the tangy, herb-flecked dip. If you don't have a grill or grill pan, you can broil the scallions in your oven. Once assembled, the dip benefits from chilling to round out the flavors. At least an hour works, but it's better after a day. It needs nothing more than potato chips alongside, but it's also great with crudités, crackers, grilled vegetables, fried chicken or slathered on sandwiches.

Time 20m

Yield 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 scallions, roots and tops trimmed
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill, or 1 teaspoon dried dill (optional)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil or other neutral oil
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a grill or a grill pan over high.
  • As pan heats up, prepare the scallion-herb mixture: Halve 2 scallions lengthwise, then slice very thinly crosswise. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in chives and dill, if using. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  • On a baking sheet, toss remaining 10 scallions with the canola oil. Season generously with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Working in batches if necessary, grill the scallions over high heat, turning occasionally, until deeply grill-marked and slightly softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool.
  • While the scallions cool, add the sour cream, cream cheese, lemon zest and juice, onion and garlic powders, and sugar to the medium bowl with the scallion-herb mixture.
  • Thinly slice the grilled scallions, then add to the sour cream mixture and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or ideally 1 day. (The flavor will deepen as it sits.) To serve, drizzle with olive oil. Serve with potato chips for dipping.

LEMONY WHIPPED FETA WITH CHARRED SCALLIONS



Lemony Whipped Feta With Charred Scallions image

A spin in the food processor and a little olive oil and cream cheese take feta from crumbly and coarse to airy and spreadable. Whipped feta is wonderful on its own, but for a smoky sweetness that makes it special, flavor the dip with scallions that have been blackened in the oven. Serve with pita chips or buttery crackers, and if you're an overachiever, top the dip with charred cherry tomatoes and a drizzle of honey.

Categories     snack, dips and spreads, appetizer

Time 20m

Yield About 6 to 8 servings (About 2 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 lemons, plus more to taste
1 bunch scallions, trimmed and halved crosswise
1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
10 ounces feta cheese, broken into large pieces (about 2 1/2 to 3 cups)
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature, or heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more for garnish
1/4 teaspoon cayenne, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon hot water

Steps:

  • Heat the broiler and line a sheet pan with foil. Juice 1 whole lemon to get 3 tablespoons juice and set aside. Cut the remaining 1/2 lemon into 3 to 4 thin slices.
  • In a medium bowl, toss together the lemon slices, scallions and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place on sheet pan and broil until blackened, tossing occasionally, 7 to 9 minutes for the scallions and about another 5 minutes for the lemon slices. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly.
  • In a food processor, add the feta, cream cheese, remaining 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, reserved lemon juice, black pepper, cayenne and hot water. Purée until very smooth, then add almost all of the scallions (save 1 or 2 pieces and chop roughly for a garnish). Pulse to combine, leaving some chunky scallion pieces. Taste for lemon, adjusting as needed.
  • Transfer to a bowl, then garnish with charred lemon slices, the reserved scallion, black pepper and a pinch of cayenne.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality feta cheese: A good quality feta cheese will make all the difference in the flavor of your dip. Look for a feta that is creamy and has a slightly tangy flavor.
  • Don't over-mix the dip: Over-mixing the dip will make it too smooth and creamy, which will take away from the chunky texture that is characteristic of a good feta and scallion dip. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as scallions and parsley, will add a bright, herbaceous flavor to the dip. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they will not be as flavorful.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite dippers: Feta and scallion dip is a versatile dip that can be served with a variety of dippers, such as pita chips, crackers, vegetables, or fruit. Choose dippers that will complement the flavors of the dip.

Conclusion:

Feta and scallion dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, tangy, and herbaceous, and it is sure to be a hit with your guests. Whether you are hosting a party or just looking for a quick and easy snack, feta and scallion dip is a great option.
