Ingredients

Method

  1. Put the chillies in a dry frying pan over high heat and cook for 4–5 min, turning, until blistered and soft. Let them cool, then remove the stems (and the seeds for a milder dip).
  2. Break the feta into a food processor and add the chillies, roasted pepper (if using), yogurt, oil and vinegar.
  3. Blend until creamy but with a little texture left. Taste and add more chilli flakes if you want more heat.
  4. Spoon into a bowl, drizzle with oil and sprinkle with chilli flakes. Serve with bread, pita or raw vegetables.
