Roasted red pepper & feta dip....throw it together in 5 minutes and serve with super quick & easy pita chips!
If I'm stuck for something to snack on, I generally go for crackers and dip. As much as I have a ridiculous sweet tooth, I can't say no to a good chip & dip situation.
Once I had roasted red peppers sorted, the next step was to make something epic with them. I had red peppers, I had feta, the answer was dip. Obviously.
I'm not going to try and sell you on the beautiful orange colour...it does looks kinda nuclear (thanks Josh) but don't let that detract you from how deeeeeelish it is. Smoky red peppers, salty feta, garlic, 1 minute in the food processor and YUS! Red pepper dip perfection.
And to really win the snack game, cut up some wholemeal pita bread (it's January, lets be sort of healthy) brush on some olive oil, sprinkle some salt and bake for 10 minutes and heeeeey pita chips. The strongest, crunchiest, best dip holding chips EVER!
The dip will keep well in the fridge and I can assure you, stirred through pasta, added to a sandwich or eaten straight off the spoon are all completely acceptable ways to use the dip you don't demolish with your chips.
Snack time is 100% awesome and 100% ready to go in 15 minutes. That's a win!

Can this be drozen please?

I don't think it would freeze particularly well but I'm always of the opinion that it's worth a try!

Hi there, just made this for a dinner party but it is really wet - more a sauce than a dip. Have tried adding another 100gms of fetta but makes no difference Any advice? Thanks Steph, Mt Albert

Hi Stephanie, I'm so sorry you didn't have success with this recipe! It is certainly not a super thick dip but shouldn't be too runny - I'm struggling to think of how I would thicken it actually without altering the flavour. I might try this recipe myself again as it's been a wile since I've made it and see what I come up with!

This looks fabulous Laura, I've a serious hankering for it right now, and will probably be picking up some red peppers and feta at the shops this weekend!

Thanks Robyn! It went down really well in our house...Josh has even asked for it again!
