All you need is a block of feta and a jar of sundried tomatoes to make this 2-minute super creamy sundried tomato and feta dip. And you can serve it immediately. I keep a blockof feta in the freezer just in case. Pondering adding garlic.
Ingredients:
- 1 block of feta (typically 200g/7oz)
- 1/2 c sundried tomatoes, plus 1 tablespoon chopped, to garnish
- 3 Tab oil (from the sundried tomatoes jar or use olive oil)
Directions:
- Add the block of feta, 1/2 cup of sundried tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of the sundried tomato oil (or olive oil) into the bowl of your food processor (or mini chopper or blender).
- Blitz until the sundried tomatoes break down and the dip is super smooth. This will take a couple of minutes. If you find it’s not moving well (this will depend on the strength of your food processor), stop the motor and break up the feta with your spoon then try again. If that doesn’t work, add another tablespoon of oil and continue.
- Garnish and serve.
Notes:
No food processor? You can make the dip without equipment – you’ll need to chop the sundried tomatoes finely and crumble up the feta, then mix it with the oil with a fork or a small whisk in a bowl. It won’t be as smooth, but it’ll have the same flavour.
Serving Suggestions: Enjoy the dip with your favourite crackers, crisps, pita chips or a platter of crudites, or use it as a spread on sandwiches, and flatbreads or dollop it on pizza or on top of shakshuka! It’s also great tossed with baby potatoes for a delicious non-mayo potato salad, used as an easy no-cook pasta sauce or served with grilled chicken or steak. It’s super versatile!
Like it runnier? Just add another couple of tablespoons of oil, or use 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt to thin out the dip if that’s the texture you prefer.
Non dairy? Use a can of white beans in stead of the feta cheese. Save some of the can liquid to thin the dip.
