Ingredients




12 ounces feta cheese (I like Israeli feta because it’s so creamy)
4 piquillo peppers, drained
1 tablespoon dried Aleppo chili flakes*
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika
1/2 Juice of a lemon
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

1 In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, blend all ingredients for a good 3 minutes, scraping the bowl of the mixer with a spatula.  This ensures the dip is super creamy. Taste for seasoning and spice level, store in the fridge or serve. If you store it in the fridge, bring it to room temp and give it a good mix before serving.
