Ingredients
4 red bell peppers
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled
2 cups crumbled feta cheese
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Directions
Hold each red bell pepper directly over a gas flame using tongs, or place them on an oven rack and broil at high heat. Rotate the peppers slowly until the skin is completely charred and blackened on all sides, about 15–20 minutes.
Transfer the charred peppers to a paper bag or cover them with plastic wrap. Let them sit for 10 minutes to steam and loosen the skin.
Remove the peppers from the bag. Peel away the blackened skin under cool running water, working gently to avoid tearing the flesh. Remove the core and all seeds.
Roughly chop or quarter the roasted peppers and transfer them to a food processor.
Add the peeled garlic cloves, crumbled feta cheese, and extra-virgin olive oil to the food processor.
Pulse and blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
Season the dip with salt and black pepper to taste, and blend briefly to incorporate.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight before serving to allow the flavors to develop and meld.
Comments
All ingredients are stocked at every major Charlotte chain—red peppers, feta, garlic, and olive oil are reliable year-round staples. The real catch is that 200 minutes claimed time is almost certainly a typo: roasting peppers takes 25–35 minutes, cooling takes maybe 10, and blending with feta takes five more, so expect roughly 50 minutes hands-off plus 10 active, not 200. At a modest 70–90 cents per serving, cost is genuinely low, driven only by feta cheese and olive oil. This is a zero-fuss dip that reheats beautifully and suits a weeknight or party equally well, though it rewards proper roasting to develop sweetness rather than speed-charring.
