Whipped Feta Dip with Harissa

This feta dip is whipped up (pardon the pun) in just two minutes. It’s so so flavourful, thanks to the creamy rich feta and fiery harissa oil on top.

Ingredients

  • 200 g feta (£0.75)
  • 200 g low fat cream cheese (£0.79)
  • ½ lemon, juiced (£0.59/4)=(£0.15)
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced (£0.69/3)=(£0.23)
  • 1 tbsp harissa paste (£2.00/2)=(£1.00)
  • 320 g (4 pack) flatbreads (£1.35)
  • Bunch of fresh parsley (£0.50)

Cupboard Essentials

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Sprinkle of paprika
  • Salt

Instructions

  • Start by adding the feta, cream cheese, lemon juice and garlic into a food processor. Season with salt and blend on high until whipped. This will take around 2 minutes.
  • Combine the harissa paste with extra virgin olive oil, season with a pinch of salt.
  • Toast your flatbreads.
  • Add the feta dip into a serving bowl and drizzle over the harissa oil. Swirl the oil into the dip slightly for the aesthetic look and then add a pinch of paprika and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Dip and enjoy!

Notes

  • Leave feta at room temperature for 30 minutes before whipping to soften it and create a smoother dip.
  • Use a food processor or blender for a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Mix extra virgin olive oil with Harissa paste to create a swirl. Add lemon juice gradually for tangy flavor, and season with salt and pepper to taste, considering the natural saltiness of feta cheese.
