Greek Whipped Feta
Ingredients
- 8 ounces block quality feta, drained
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 lemon zest
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, more as needed
- 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper, or red pepper flakes (to your taste)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2-3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts, optional
- 1-2 tablespoons crushed pistachios, optional
Instructions
In the bowl of a large food processor fitted with a blade, combine the feta, Greek yogurt and lemon zest. Blend, and while the processor is running, drizzle olive oil through the top opening, until the feta is whipped to a smooth mixture.
Transfer the whipped feta to a serving plate. With the back of your spoon, smooth the top of the feta, making an indentation in the middle (or a “well”). Pour a bit of olive oil all over the feta, then top with the Aleppo pepper, fresh herbs, and nuts.
Serve with pita chips or pita wedges.
