Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 pound crumbled feta
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 small dried red chiles
Freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 1/2 lemon
To garnish: -- Kalamata olives
To serve: -- Pita bread

1. 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.

2. 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 (4 one-quarter cup servings)

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