Htipiti - Roasted pepper & feta spread
====================================== 2022-05-01


From the book "How to Roast a Lamb by Michael Psilakis" page 195

Comment: The htipiti is excellent as a dip, but also as a spread and I also use it as a sauce for chicken burgers where it really adds to the taste.
For the salt, be aware that some fetas are saltier then others.

Htipiti is pronounced ch-tee-pee-tee

for ~1/2 cup

Ingredients:
------------

1/2  onion, thickly sliced
125 g crumbled feta cheese
1 fire-roasted red bell peppers cut into strips
1 pepperoncini (pickled yellow peppers), sliced or mild jalapeno
1/4 teaspoon dry Greek oregano
1 pinch ground coriander (opt)
1 pinch ground cumin
2 small, picked sprigs parsley (opt)
2 small, picked sprigs dill (opt)
1 tablespoon snipped chives
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (1/2 lemon zest)
S + P
20 ml EVOO (possibly a little more)


Preparation:
------------

Grill the onion until tender and slightly char-marked in a little EVOO and a  bit of salt.

In a food processor, combine all the ingredients, some pepper and process until very smooth.
Adjust seasoning, but be careful not to add too much salt, as the feta is quite salty.
