Préparation

1. 1

   Pat the feta cheese dry and cut it into 1-inch chunks, and pat the roasted red peppers dry before roughly chopping them.

2. 2

   Combine the feta, roasted red peppers, olive oil, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and approximately 10 twists of freshly ground black pepper in the bowl of a food processor.

3. 3

   Process until the mixture reaches a smooth, orange consistency, ensuring some small bits of feta remain to avoid a gritty texture.

4. 4

   Taste the dip and add additional cayenne pepper if a spicier result is desired, pulsing briefly to incorporate.

5. 5

   Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, create swirls on the surface with a spoon, drizzle with additional olive oil, and garnish with red pepper flakes.
