Htipiti 
(Greek feta and roasted red pepper spread)

A simple spread with loads of flavor, htipiti — also known as tirokafteri or kopanisti — is the perfect addition to a Mediterranean meze spread. The salty bite of feta cheese marries perfectly with the smoky sweetness of the roasted peppers and a touch of heat from hot pepper flakes.

Use htipiti as a dip for pita wedges. Spread it on bread for sandwiches. Or smear it on lavash for wraps.
