Greek Feta Spread (Kopanisti)




Source of Recipe


Williams Sonoma






Recipe Introduction


Feta cheese whips up into a smooth, creamy spread when blended with olive oil in the food processor. The Greeks like to flavor it with garlic, mint and pickled peppers to make a piquant dip for pita bread. Serve it with radishes and cucumber spears for dipping, too.





List of Ingredients



• 1/2 lb. Greek or French feta cheese
  
• 3 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
  
• 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
  
• 1 Tbs. minced fresh mint or 1 tsp. crumbled dried mint
  
• 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes, plus more as needed
  
• 6 Italian peperoncini (pickled green peppers), plus more as needed, chopped
  






Instructions



1. In a food processor, combine the cheese, olive oil, garlic, mint, the 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes and the 6 chopped peperoncini and process until smooth. Taste and add more red pepper flakes or peperoncini, if needed.
