TIPS FOR ROASTED RED PEPPER & FETA DIP

  • Use Quality Roasted Peppers: Opt for fire-roasted red peppers for a deeper smoky flavour. If using jarred ones, drain excess liquid before blending.
  • Adjust Texture to Preference: Blend longer for a smooth dip or keep it chunky for more texture.
  • Enhance Creaminess: If you prefer a creamier dip, mix in a teaspoon of Greek yoghurt or cream cheese.
  • Balance The Flavours: If the dip tastes too tangy, add a drop of honey to balance the acidity.
  • Garnish For Presentation: Top with extra crumbled feta, a sprinkle of paprika, or fresh herbs for a visually appealing dish.
  • Pairing Suggestions: Serve with pita bread, crackers, fresh vegetable sticks, or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps.

VARIATIONS

  • Spicy Version: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red chilli flakes for extra heat.
  • Garlic-Infused: Blend in a small clove of roasted garlic for added depth of flavour.
  • Creamier Dip: Stir in a tablespoon of Greek yoghurt or sour cream to create a richer texture.
  • Nutty Twist: Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts or walnuts for added crunch and depth.
  • Herb-Enhanced: Mix in fresh basil, parsley, or oregano for an aromatic lift.
  • Vegan Alternative: Replace feta with dairy-free cheese or blended cashews for a plant-based version.
  • Zesty Addition: Squeeze in fresh lemon juice to brighten the dip and enhance the Mediterranean flavour.
  • Smokier Taste: Add a few drops of liquid smoke or use extra smoked paprika for a more intense smoky profile.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir before serving, as separation may occur.
  • Freezing: Freezing is not recommended due to the texture change of feta and roasted peppers.
  • Make-Ahead: This dip can be made in advance and stored in the fridge, making it a convenient option for meal prepping or entertaining.
