Instructions

FOR THE URFA CHILI OIL

Step 1

In a small pot, heat the olive oil and Urfa over medium heat while swirling the pot constantly.

Step 2

Once the Urfa begins to sizzle, count 30 seconds and immediately remove from heat and pour into a heat safe bowl. Allow to cool. This will keep in an air tight container for up to 1 week.

FOR THE WHIPPED FETA DIP

Step 3

Add the feta cheese and 2-3 tbsp of brine from the feta cheese into a food processor.

Step 4

Blend on high speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl half way through. It should be thick and creamy, kind of like the consistency of cream cheese. If it is too stiff, add more brine 1/2 tablespoon at a time. This can keep in the fridge for up to 2 days
