AuthorNote: This spicy feta cheese dip calls for a combination of red and green hot peppers. It is one of the classics of the Thessaloniki meze repertoire and has many variations. The recipe that follows comes from one of the city's mezze meccas, a small ouzerie in the Mmodiano Market called Myrovolou Smyrna. Here, only green hot peppers are used.
