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!

Time 15m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 -2 banana pepper, depending on how spicy you want it (see note)
1/3 lb good quality feta cheese
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
2 tablespoons good quality olive oil

Steps:

  • Place the banana peppers directly over a gas flame (or under a broiler), turning often, until blackened spots appear on all sides. Place in a bowl and cover with a clean towel until cook enough to handle. Peel, seed, and remove the stems from the peppers; then, chop them.
  • 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.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  • NOTE: You can use different types of peppers, just adjust for the degree of spiciness you want.

This tyrokafteri was a bit too runny for my taste. I think I'll try draining the feta cheese more next time.

I found this tyrokafteri to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some more garlic and lemon juice next time.

This tyrokafteri is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try using less chili next time.
