Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 pound crumbled feta
3 tablespoons olive oil -- with more to drizzle
2 small dried red chiles
Freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 1/2 lemon
To serve: -- Kalamata olive and pita bread

Place feta, olive oil, chiles, a few grinds of pepper, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor and blend until very smooth. Transfer to a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for several hours so that the flavors develop and the cheese spread sets up.

Bring to room temperature. Drizzle a little extra-virgin olive oil over the top. Serve with kalamata olives and pita. Spread will keep, refrigerated, for up to a week.

Makes 1 cup (16 one tablespoon servings)

Use Greek feta for this recipe-other fetas will make an overly salty dip.

ChupaNote: add 1 1/2 teaspoons crumbled dried mint, Bosnian style, and replace the dried red chiles with 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper.
