Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 small garlic, minced
• 10 ounces crumbled feta cheese
• 2 medium roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
• 1 tablespoon Kalamata olives
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine feta cheese, red peppers, oil, vinegar, garlic, and pepper flakes in a food processor; puree in pulses until smooth. Avoid over-mixing as the heat from the food processor can make the tirokafteri runny.

Step 2

Taste and adjust seasoning as desired, adding more red pepper flakes, vinegar, or garlic to taste.

Step 3

Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with olives, if using. Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving.
