How to prepare your own Tyrokafteri: A Creamy and Fiery Greek Delight

I have been putting off this post, but I think it is time to make it now!

Today, I will share with you my own recipe for a spicy, creamy, tasty sauce "feta cheese dip"

The best thing? You will just need 4 ingredients (or 3), which many of you may already have at home.

The below ingredients are for 2-3 people - I suggest that you make this once and add/remove according to your own taste.

Recipe: Creamy Tyrokafteri (Spicy Feta Dip)

---

Ingredients:

• 150-200g Greek feta cheese
• 1-2 roasted peppers
• 2-3 fresh chili peppers (adjust to your desired spiciness)
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
• optional 1-2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (adjust to desired consistency)

Instructions:

Prepare the Ingredients:

• Cut the feta cheese into small cubes.

• Slice the roasted red peppers

• Use fresh chili peppers (1 or 2) should be ok, and chop them finely. If you want the dip to be super spicy, leave all the seeds in. If not, Remove any seeds.

Blend the Ingredients:

• Place the feta cheese in a blender or mixer.

Add the Peppers:

• Add the sliced red peppers to the blender.

Spice It Up:

• Add the fresh or dried chili peppers to the blender.

Mix It All Together:

• Drizzle in a few tablespoons of olive oil to help with blending.
• Blend the ingredients until smooth. You can adjust the creaminess by adding more or less olive oil.

Adjust the Consistency:

• If you prefer a softer and lighter dip, add 2-3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt to the mixture.
• Blend again until everything is well combined and you achieve the desired consistency.

(Please note: I have seen recipes using garlic and red vinegar. I have not tried them in my recipe, but I plan to check this out in the future)

Serve:

• Transfer the creamy Tyrokafteri to a serving dish.

Enjoy:

• Serve the creamy Tyrokafteri as a dip with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or any other desired accompaniments.

This spicy feta dip can be enjoyed with a variety of foods and makes for a delicious and flavorful appetizer. Adjust the spiciness and creaminess to your liking, and enjoy! It blends perfectly with BBQ, french fries, pita bread, fresh bread or even in (non toasted) toasts.
