Classic Roasted Red Pepper & Feta Dip (Tirokafteri)

Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Appetizers
A tavern staple. The secret is pairing salty feta with roasted peppers: creamy cheese tames the chili heat, while roasting deepens the flavor with smoky-sweet notes. Not just a dip, but concentrated Mediterranean essence.
