Ingredients
Units
- 200g feta
- 1/2 cup yoghurt 80g
- ground pepper to taste
- 50g dates – sliced in half length ways
- zest of lemon
- 10g pistachios
- 1.5 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Add the feta, lemon zest, yoghurt and pepper to the food processor and blend together – you will need to scrape the sides down every now and again.
- Once blended and smooth, add the oil in slowly with the motor still running.
- Add oil to a frying pan and add the dates. Cook on medium-high heat until the dates begin to soften.
- Roughly chop the pistachios. Scatter the dates and pistachios over the feta and serve with flatbreads or pita.
