Ingredients
  • Roasted Red Peppers, from a jar, or your own
  • Feta Cheese drained, rinsed, crumbled
  • Olive oil
  • Cayenne
Instructions
  1. If you are using jarred roasted red peppers, drain them, rinse, and pat dry. Chop roughly
  2. Combine equal amounts of roasted red peppers and feta cheese in a blender, food processor, or in a deep, narrow container for an immersion (hand-held) blender. Pulse to combine.
  3. With the blender running, add just enough olive oil (about 2 Tbsp per cup of pepper mixture) to create a dipping consistency. Blend well to emulsify the oil with the pepper mixture.
  4. Season to taste with cayenne pepper. About 1/4 tsp per cup of dip makes it quite zippy.
  5. Serve with vegetables, crackers or chips. The dip is also a nice condiment with plain grilled chicken or fish. It can serve as a quick sauce, stirred into hot, drained pasta.
