2 cups sheep's milk French feta --

drained and broken into rough ½ pieces or crumbled

2 red bell peppers -- roasted,

peeled, seeded and roughly chopped

2 teaspoons Aleppo chilies -- + a pinch

for garnish

garnish

1/2 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika -- + a

pinch for garnish

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/4 cup olive oil

 

 

1. Place all of the ingredients in a medium mixing

bowl and combine them

so that the sweet and hot peppers coat the cheese.

 

2. In a food processor, fitted with a metal blade,

purée the mixture for

about 2 minutes, until very smooth and creamy.

 

3. Place the mixture in a crock and sprinkle it with a

pinch of all three

of the chilies to garnish and show them off.

NOTES : At Oleana, we serve this addictive staple as a

bread

condiment, under the " prêt à manger " section

of our menu.

We dish it up in a little crock and sprinkle

it with a

pinch each of Aleppo and Urfa chilies and

paprika to

really show the peppers off. This

untraditional recipe is

my interpretation of a typical hot pepper and

feta spread

eaten as a mezze in Greece. It's important to

use a good

creamy feta—such as a sheep's milk French

feta--so that it

will whip

up very smoothly. For salads and more crumbly

applications, Greek-style or cow's milk feta

is fine.

Serve this dish with manaaeesh or with celery

sticks, raw

fennel sticks, or spears of endive as a salad

course or

snack.
