Aleppo Chili Oil
- 2 tbsp Aleppo pepper
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup (60 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
Whipped Za'atar Feta
- 8 oz (226 g) block feta
- ¼ cup (60 g) plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp za'atar plus more for serving
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ tbsp water
Instructions
- For the chili oil, add the Aleppo pepper and garlic to a small heatproof bowl. Add the oil to a small pan over medium heat.
- Once bubbles appear and the oil starts to shimmer, turn off the heat and pour the hot oil over the garlic and chili flakes. It should bubble and sizzle.
- Stir the chili oil to combine everything and set aside to cool while you make the feta.
- For the whipped feta, crumble the feta block into a food processor and add the yogurt, za'atar, and lemon juice. Blend to combine.
- With the processor running, drizzle in the 2 tbsp of olive oil and the water. Scrape down the processor and continue blending and scraping until the feta is smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the whipped feta to a serving plate then drizzle the chili oil on top and sprinkle with more za'atar.
