I bought some marinated feta at Eumundie Markets recently, and was VERY impressed, so I did what all cooks do, I copied it 🙂 This is the basic recipe, you can add Parmesan cheese, toasted pine nuts, or even chopped olives. you can use any pesto for this, I have tried it with sundried tomato pesto, and it was good, but I prefer the fresh taste of the basil pesto:) this will keep well in the fridge, and the flavours meld better if made the day before its needed. I have made this with soft greek feta, but I have to say I prefer the aussie feta, as it holds its’ shape so much better. If there are any leftovers, you can use it as a base for Greek pizza…yummy
I make this all the time, you will need a food processor to have a smooth texture, but if you decide to make it by hand then it will not be as smooth creamy texture and the flavour will be different.
Usually cilantro chutney in Afghanistan restaurants in the US do not contain mint, and have a stronger vinegar flavor. If that is what you are looking for, adjust the recipe accordingly. This is a slightly different version that I came up with.
There are no end of varieties of hummus in the supermarket. This one is loaded with sweet roasted red pepper, making it much lighter.
