Ben Jackson on BBC Radio Leicester

Available for over a year

Whipped Feta Dip Ingredients: Feta cheese 200 g Greek yogurt 100 g Mayonnaise 100 g Lemon zest 1 lemon garlic clove, minced, 1 small Dried dill ¼ t Dried oregano ¼ tsp Dried thyme ¼ tsp Salt 1/8 tsp Pepper ¼ tsp Red pepper flakes 1/8 tsp White or wholemeal pitas 1 pack Extra virgin olive oil 50 ml Salt To taste Seasoning of choice (za’atar, dukkah, everything bagel) To taste METHOD: Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place each pita flat on your cutting board and split them in half from the seam with your finger. Brush with extra virgin olive oil & season with salt and your choice of seasoning. Cut into triangles. Bake in a single layer anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes, checking occasionally to turn over the pita triangles that have gained color. They are ready when lightly golden and crispy! While pitas are in the oven make your dip. Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Transfer to a serving bowl and use a small spoon to create a swirl on the surface of the dip. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning from your pita chips.
