Tirokafteri Recipe (greek Spicy Feta Cheese Dip)

8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

¼ cup Greek yogurt (or 2-3 tablespoons for thicker dip)

1-2 hot green peppers (jalapeño or serrano, cored/seeded for less heat, roughly chopped)

1 small clove garlic

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for topping

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (or lemon juice)

½ teaspoon dried oregano

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)

Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Add feta cheese, Greek yogurt, hot peppers, garlic, olive oil, vinegar (or lemon juice), oregano, and black pepper to a food processor.
Pulse, then process until mostly smooth (stop once it’s creamy, don’t over-blend).
Taste and adjust: More heat: add more pepper or a pinch of flakes. Creamier: add 1-2 more tablespoons yogurt or a drizzle more olive oil. Tangier: add a bit more lemon/vinegar.
Spoon into a bowl, swirl the top, and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle oregano or black pepper if desired.
Serve with pita, toasted crostinis, or crackers.
