Ingredients
8 ounces chèvre (fresh goat cheese)
½ cup drained roasted red peppers, patted dry
1 Anaheim chili, stemmed, seeded and chopped
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more to serve
¾ teaspoon hot smoked paprika
½ teaspoon honey
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (1½ cups)
½ cup fresh dill, chopped, plus more to serve
Directions
In a food processor, combine the goat cheese, roasted peppers, Anaheim chili, oil, paprika, honey, salt and black pepper. Process until smooth, about 1 minute, scraping the bowl as needed.
Transfer to a medium bowl.
Fold in the feta and dill, then taste and season with salt and pepper.
Transfer to a serving bowl and top with additional oil, dill and black pepper.
Notes
Tip:
Don't add more Anaheim chili if you're looking to increase the spiciness. Instead, up the hot paprika, or toss a Fresno chili into the food processor before pureeing.
