Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 medium roasted red peppers
- 1 cup feta cheese (approx. 250g or 8.5oz), crumbled
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons vinegar (any type such as red wine or white vinegar)
- 1 red chili pepper, or chili flakes (adjust quantity to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Ensure the red peppers are roasted and peeled beforehand. Crumble the feta cheese to make it easier to blend.
- Add ingredients to food processor: Place the roasted red peppers, crumbled feta cheese, olive oil, and vinegar into the food processor bowl.
- Incorporate chili pepper: Wearing gloves, cut the red chili pepper in half and add half of it to the food processor. Process the ingredients until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Adjust heat: Taste the dip and add more chili pepper or chili flakes if you prefer a spicier dip. Process again until the dip reaches your desired consistency and heat level.
- Serve: Transfer the tirokafteri to a serving bowl and serve chilled or at room temperature with bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
Notes
- Wearing gloves when handling chili peppers prevents irritation from capsaicin.
- Roast the red peppers over an open flame or oven for best flavor and peel off the skin before blending.
- You can substitute vinegar types according to preference; red wine vinegar adds a nice authenticity.
- Adjust the spiciness by adding more or less chili pepper or substituting with chili flakes.
- Tirokafteri keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
