Preparation
What You Need
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter a 2- to 4-cup (500 mL to 1 L) baking dish or two large ramekins.
In a food processor (or in a tall cup using an immersion blender), purée bread crumbs, feta cheese, roasted red peppers and garlic until smooth; season to taste with pepper.
Spread into prepared baking dish. Bake for about 20 min or until warm and just starting to turn golden around the edges. Serve with toasted pita wedges and cucumber slices or wedges for spreading.
Tips
You can use roasted red peppers from a jar or the deli. Just drain them well before measuring. To roast your own, place 2 sweet red peppers on a baking sheet and broil, turning often, until blackened all over. Place in a bowl, cover tightly and let cool. Peel, remove core and seeds and drain well.
Stir 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped black olives and 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh oregano into spread before transferring to baking dish.

Fabulous appetizer. Texture is more interesting if not processed until v smooth.
If you want it go a bit further try stirring in 3/4 tbsp sour cream. This does not compromise the flavor. -
