Ingredients
- 200 g feta cheese, drained 8 oz
- 1/2 cup sour cream or greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- pinch black pepper
- salt to taste if necessary
For the garlic chips:
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 5-6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
For garnish:
- drizzle olive oil
- pinch red chili flakes
- 1-2 teaspoon garlic chips
- 2 teaspoon chopped pistachios
- pinch fresh herbs, like thyme if desired
Instructions
- In the bowl of a blender or food processor, add the feta cheese and sour cream/yogurt. Blend on medium speed continuously until mixture is creamy and lump free (about 1 minute).
- Drizzle in olive oil while blender is still running, until combined. Add the lemon zest and black pepper and pulse to mix. Taste, and if you need it, add salt.
- Transfer the dip to the small bowl you'll serve it in. Make your garlic chips if using (see notes below)
For the garlic chips (optional) and garnish:
- Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat until hot. Add sliced garlic and fry on each side for 1-2 minutets until golden brown, then immediately drain the oil and place garlic on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Let garlic chips cool.
- Just before serving, top the dip with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of red chili flakes, garlic chips, and chopped pistachios.
Notes
If not using garlic chips, add 1 crushed garlic clove to the dip while blending.
If not serving dip straight away, it'll keep up to 3 days sealed in the fridge. Garnish just before serving.
