TYROKAFTERI - GREEK ** HOT **PEPPER CHEESE DIP



Tyrokafteri - Greek ** Hot **pepper Cheese Dip image

This is a traditional recipe for Tyrokafteri, which is a specialty of the region of Thrace in northeastern Greece. This particular recipe comers from Nancy Gaifyllia, who says "My family likes this one hot, so I use jalapeno peppers that make my eyes water just from touching them. This recipe works with red and green peppers. Mild or hot, this is a delicious dip." 4 ingredients & 3 steps - there's not much easier than that ;) Posted for ZWT 4.

Time 5m

Yield 1 bowl

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 lb feta cheese
1 chili pepper (mild to hot, depending on preference)
olive oil
parsley (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Crumble the feta into small pieces using a fork.
  • Sauté the pepper in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until the skin is lightly browned. Remove the stem and discard, and chop the pepper into very small pieces.
  • Using a mortar and pestle, add the pepper and the oil it was sautéed in to the cheese and mash until smooth, adding additional olive oil if needed to bring it to the consistency of a thick (but not stiff) dip. Serve garnished with a bit of parsley.
  • Alternatively: Put the cheese, pepper, and oil from sautéeing in the blender and mix, adding more olive oil if needed to bring to the correct consistency.
  • (Note: If you have a pepper that's too hot, slit it open down one side under running water and remove and discard the white internal membrane. Pat the pepper dry before sautéeing.).

This recipe makes a lot - and that is a good thing, because it is eaten as fast as it is taken out of the oven. Great with pita chips, crackers, or carrot sticks. I have successfully cut the recipe in half. This one will be a favorite of cheese lovers!

Hot Pepper Jelly and Cream Cheese Dip image

This recipe came from one of my husband's friends. Odd sounding ingredients (all two of them), but VERY addicting! He suggested eating them with Bugles and I can tell you it was an excellent suggestion. Sweet from the jelly, creamy from the cheese, and a little bite from the pepper. Mmmmmmm.
