Christmas is usually the time of the year when we cook the most. Tables are set, various platters of all sorts of foods come out, guests are fed. This year however, things are a little bit different. Most of us are not hosting like we used to, and many of us are already quite tired from the long year we’ve had.
So what do we do at times like these? The answer is simple. We source delicious ingredients, like our meze box, we unbox and plate everything and there we go, ready for Christmas!
This week we have a recipe that is perhaps one of the simplest ones to make. And requires very few ingredients. If you, like us, feel like resting this Christmas, then this dip is all you need. With some crusty bread or Cretan kritsini breadsticks, olives and cheeses (yes also in the meze box!), and you are sorted for an alternative Christmas dinner, lunch or dare we say breakfast?
1 jar roasted red peppers
150g feta cheese
3 tbsp olive oil, plus more to serve
1 tbsp grape molasses
nigella seeds (optional, to serve)
Drain the peppers.
In a blender whiz together the peppers, feta cheese, olive oil and grape molasses.
Let it set in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving.
Serve with nigella seeds and olive oil.
