✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 1 lb Feta
• 2 Roasted red peppers
• 1 tsp Chili flakes
• 1/4 cup Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Red wine vinegar

Steps

1. Blitz the feta, roasted peppers, chili, and vinegar into a thick, rosy spread.
2. Stream in the olive oil with the motor running until silky.
3. Taste for heat — tirokafteri means “spicy cheese,” and it should live up to the name.
4. Chill 20 minutes so the flavors marry and the spread firms.
5. Serve with warm pita, raw vegetables, or grilled meats.
6. Keeps a week refrigerated; the heat mellows slightly by day two.
7. Macedonia’s fiery answer to tzatziki’s cool calm.
