Ingredients:

  • 2 large sweet red peppers (approximately 300g)
  • 200g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30ml)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (15ml)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Pita chips or fresh vegetables for serving

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Wash, de-seed, and cut the sweet red peppers into halves.
  3. Place peppers skin-side up on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and roast for about 30 minutes until the skin is blistered and charred. Optional: Cover with foil for 10 minutes post-roasting to steam the skin off.
  4. In a food processor, combine the roasted peppers, feta cheese, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with salt, pepper, or extra lemon juice.
  6. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little more olive oil if desired. Serve with pita chips or vegetables.
