This is the most blogged, tweeted and pinned recipe I have ever created. I came up with it years ago and then forgot all about it until I was looking through an old cooking notebook of mine. It's a surefire crowd-pleaser. It's also one of the simplest recipes ever. Just a few ingredients, 2 minutes in the food processor, and voilà, you have the most amazing dip. I've even used it as a topping for baked chicken or white fish.
- 7 ounces Feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
- 1 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- pinch of red pepper flakes
- crudites
- Place the feta, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, garlic and olive oil in a blender and whir until combined but still slightly chunky. It’s dense, so you may need to stir it with a fork once or twice.
- Taste, and if it’s too salty, add more lemon juice.
- Spoon into a serving bowl, drizzle with a little oil and sprinkle with a pinch of red pepper flakes and some lemon zest.
- Serve with crudités, chips, toasts or pita crisps.
