\"Greek<\/p>\n

Tonight I roasted some peppers and made Diane Kochilas’\u00a0Greek Feta & Red Pepper Dip<\/a>. Chef Diane<\/a> is an internationally-known cookbook author, food writer, culinary teacher and consultant. She has written 18 books on Greek and Mediterranean cuisine.<\/p>\n

\"Roasted<\/p>\n

Roasting peppers is easy. I did it on my grill. Just let them get blackened on all sides.<\/p>\n

\"Roasted<\/div>\n

It will take several minutes on each side.<\/p>\n

\"Cover<\/div>\n

Once they are blackened put them in a bowl and cover them tightly with foil or cling wrap. Let them sit in their steam for 5 – 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

\"Greek<\/div>\n

While the peppers are steaming, get together the ingredients to be combined in a small food processor. 6 oz. of feta, lemon, oregano, hot sauce and extra virgin olive oil.<\/p>\n

\"Roasted<\/div>\n

The peppers need to cool and then peel off the blackened skin. It should come off easily.<\/p>\n

\"Skin<\/div>\n

Slice the peppers so you can lay them flat and remove the seeds.<\/p>\n

\"Blend<\/div>\n

Blend the feta, 1 red pepper, lemon, oregano, hot sauce and extra virgin olive oil until smooth. The dip is great with pita bread or pita chips. Let me know if you like it.<\/p>\n

\"Roasted<\/div>\n

I also made a salad with the rest of the roasted peppers by slicing them in long strips and adding a minced large garlic clove, sliced large olives and extra virgin olive oil. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
