Htipiti (Greek Feta Cheese Dip)

Htipiti (Greek Feta Cheese Dip)

When I was at the grocery store I asked for 100 grams of feta cheese from the deli section and what I got was more like 400 grams. I thought, no problem I really like feta I will take it anyways. So I needed a recipe to use up some extra feta cheese and I remembered seeing this recipe for htipiti, a Greek feta cheese dip. It has a lot of flavours that I really like, including feta, sun dried tomatoes and roasted red peppers. It also had some things in that I was not so sure about including the green onion and the jalapeno pepper. It was amazing! I finished all of it in one night. The roasted jalapeno pepper left a really nice warmth in the mouth. I think that I might even try increasing the amount of jalapeno the next time that I make this.

Ingredients:
4 ounces feta
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic
1 green onion
2 ounces sun dried tomatoes packed in oil (drained, reserve)
1 roasted red pepper
1 roasted jalapeno pepper

Directions:
1. Mix everything in a food processor. (Add some oil from the sun dried tomatoes if it is too thick.)

Thanks for the mention...isn't it just divine? The sun dried tomatoes are the suprising "x-factor" in this dip.
