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.

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.

FETA DIP



Feta Dip image

This is a simple, fresh, and tasty dip. We were initially concerned it would not have enough flavor but boy were we wrong. The feta, tomato, and green onions are a perfect combination placed on top of olive oil. Greek seasoning just enhances the flavor and gives a robust flavor. We loved to soak up the olive oil with the bread...

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 c olive oil, more or less
3-4 Roma tomatoes; seeded and diced
1 bunch green onions; thinly sliced
8 oz Feta cheese; crumbled
Cavendar's Greek seasoning; to taste
1 baguette, sliced

Steps:

  • 1. Cover your platter generously with olive oil.
  • 2. Combine diced tomatoes, green onions, and Feta. Add on top of oil.
  • 3. Sprinkle with Cavender's. This blend has some salt in it so taste to make sure you have enough but not too much for your family's palate.
  • 4. Serve with sliced baguette for dipping. We usually use the baguette to pinch up some of the dip rather than spooning it onto our bread.

FETA AND SCALLION DIP WITH OLIVE OIL AND LEMON (BOBBY FLAY)



Feta and Scallion Dip With Olive Oil and Lemon (Bobby Flay) image

DH and I made this tasty dip from my "Boy Gets Grill" cookbook. We easily halved the recipe to suit four people. I got lots of compliments from the friends I served it to. It is pretty lemony, so if you are not a fan of lemons, this may not be for you. Also, my feta was Bulgarian and it was extremely salty so I did not add any extra salt to the recipe. Also, we cheated and just used store bought pita chips.

Time 12m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 scallions, dark green and pale green parts only, chopped
1 scallion, thinly sliced for garnish
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for brushing the pitas
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 lb feta, crumbled
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
6 pocketless pita breads

Steps:

  • Combine the chopped scallions, oil, lemon zest and lemon juice in a food processor and process until smooth. (If you don't have a food processor, you can use an electric mixer or a wooden spoon instead, but the dip will not be as smooth). Add the feta and process until smooth.
  • Scrape the mixture into a serving bowl. (The dip can be made up to this point a few hours in advance, covered and kept refrigerated). Bring to cool room temperature before serving).
  • When ready to serve, season to taste with salt and pepper and garnish with the sliced scallion.
  • Heat your grill to high.
  • Brush the pitas with a little oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the pitas for 1 minute on each side, until lightly browned. Remove from the grill and cut each pita into 8 wedges for serving. Serve warm with the dip.

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality feta cheese: The quality of the feta cheese will greatly impact the overall flavor of the dip. Look for a feta cheese that is made from sheep's milk or a combination of sheep's and goat's milk. Avoid feta cheese that is made from cow's milk, as it will not have the same rich flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as scallions, dill, and parsley, will add a pop of flavor to the dip. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Don't overmix the dip: Overmixing the dip will make it smooth and creamy, but it will also remove some of the airiness and lightness. Mix the dip just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dip before serving: Chilling the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving will allow the flavors to meld together and will make the dip more refreshing.
  • Serve the dip with a variety of accompaniments: Feta dip can be served with a variety of accompaniments, such as pita chips, crackers, vegetables, or fruit. You can also use the dip as a spread for sandwiches or wraps.

Conclusion:

Feta dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. Whether you like your dip smooth and creamy or chunky and rustic, there is a feta dip recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give feta dip a try. You won't be disappointed.
