Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 long green mildly hot chilies -- to 3 peppers, to taste,
seeded and chopped
1/2 pound tin-aged hard feta -- or telemes cheese, crumbled
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice -- to 3 tablespoons, to taste

Pulse the peppers in a food processor until they are like a paste, then add the
cheese a bit at a time, pulsing after each addition.
Add the olive oil and pulse until smooth.
Add the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, to adjust and balance the flavors.
Refrigerate for 1 hour and serve, accompanied by bread or crudites.

[Wear rubber gloves when cleaning hot peppers.]

Makes 4 to 6 servings

AuthorNote: This spicy feta cheese dip calls for a combination of red and green
hot peppers. It is one of the classics of the Thessaloniki meze repertoire and
has many variations. The recipe that follows comes from one of the city's mezze
meccas, a small ouzerie in the Mmodiano Market called Myrovolou Smyrna. Here,
only green hot peppers are used.
