Equipment
- 1 Food Processor
Ingredients
- 16 oz feta block
- 3 jalapeños
- 1 garlic bulb
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1/3 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉.
- Start by roasting the garlic and jalapeños. For the garlic, cut the top off the bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle 1 tsp of olive oil over the top and wrap it tightly in a sheet of aluminum foil. Roast for 30-35 minutes until garlic is soft, fragrant, and a golden color.
- For the jalapeños, place three cleaned peppers on a sheet tray. Roast for approximately 20 minutes, flipping them over halfway. The skin will be charred and wrinkly, and the jalapeño itself will be soft. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool. Once cooled peel back the skin, cut the tops, and discard the seeds, so you are only left with the flesh.
- In a food processor, add feta, olive oil, and lemon juice. Squeeze the roasted garlic bulbs into the processor to extract the sweet roasted garlic, and add the diced jalapeño. Depending on the heat level of your jalapeño, adjust the quantity accordingly—start with one, and add more if desired. Pulse until creamy with chunks. If enjoying as a dip top with leftover jalapeño if all wasn't used and olive oil.
