Ingredients
- 2 large roasted red peppers
- 200 grams feta cheese
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
If using fresh red peppers, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place the peppers on a baking sheet. Roast for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered.
Step 2
Transfer the roasted peppers to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let them steam for 5 minutes to loosen the skin. Peel off the skin, remove the stems and seeds, and set aside.
Step 3
In a food processor or blender, combine the roasted red peppers, feta cheese, and garlic clove.
Step 4
Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Step 5
While the processor is running, drizzle in the olive oil and lemon juice. Blend until fully incorporated.
Step 6
Add the paprika, salt, and black pepper. Blend again and taste, adjusting seasoning as needed.
Step 7
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately with bread, crackers, or raw vegetables, or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
