2 tbspolive oil
1 tbsplemon juice
½ tspdried oregano

Method

1
Crumble the feta into a food processor. Add the yoghurt, drained red pepper, chilli and lemon juice.
2
Blend for 30 to 60 seconds, scraping down the sides, until creamy but still with a few tiny flecks of pepper.
3
With the machine running, pour in the olive oil. Taste. Feta is salty, so it should not need extra salt.
4
Spoon into a bowl, swirl the top and add a little more oil and the oregano.
5
Chill for 20 minutes if you have time, as the heat from the chilli builds. Serve with warm pitta, cucumber sticks and cherry tomatoes. Keeps 4 days in the fridge.
