Ktipiti – Regal Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 red peppers
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 cup of feta cheese
• 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon of oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt (adjust to taste)
• Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

Directions:

1. First, roast the red peppers. Preheat your oven to 500°F, then place the peppers on a baking sheet and bake them until they begin to blacken (around 15-20 minutes). Alternatively, you can roast peppers over the fire of a gas stove or grill, but be sure to watch them closely.
2. Once the peppers are roasted, let them cool before peeling off the skin and removing the seeds.
3. Add the peeled roasted peppers, garlic, feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using) into a food processor and blend until smooth.
4. Taste and adjust any seasoning accordingly.
5. Once the dip is to your liking, transfer it to a bowl and serve chilled.
