Spicy Feta Dip (Tirokafteri) – While doing research (AKA eating out at restaurants!) for my Greek book (A Little Taste of Greece – out in May!), I kept seeing Tirokafteri on menus and learned that it was a chilli feta dip. This isn’t something I ate growing up or something I had really noticed on menus before – so I knew I had to try it as many times as I could and then create my own version.

So here it is… Spicy Feta Dip or Tirokafteri to enjoy as a dip, on a yiros/gyro or as a sauce even.

Love Nik xx

  1. 5 stars
    You can also put blobs of this on top of the Lunchbox quiches (for the cheese quota) before putting in the oven. Maybe slight reduction in salt in the quiches is needed but for me it this was a fab addition!

  2. For those UK skinnies…..Danish Feta is now known as Greek Crumbly Cheese (🙄 EU regulations) & this goes very well with Peter’s Yard sourdough crackers (especially the ones with pink peppercorns) and the flavour definitely develops over a few days…if you can leave it that long….thanks Nik
