Description
This whipped feta dip recipe is a product of me seeing so many whipped feta dips on Instagram that I had to make one that was inspired by Afghan flavors.
Ingredients
3 Large White or Yellow Onions
Vegetable Oil (for frying onions)
1 Pound Feta Cheese
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
1/4 Cup Toum (Recipe here, super simple)
2 Tablespoons Qurut
1/4 Cup Fresh Dill
Chips or Veggies for Dipping
Instructions
1. Slice onions super thin. If you have a powerful food slicer like my Breville, I recommend it.
2. Heat vegetable oil to high, and then fry onions in batches. You will use most of them in the dip, and then some to top the dip for decoration. Fried onions are tricky. It is easy to burn them so you must pay extra attention to them. But, they are delicious and well worth it.
3. In your blender add feta, lemon juice, toum, and qurut. Blend this well until nice and whipped.
4. After that add your fresh dill most of your cripsy onions, blend again until smooth.
5. Get a nice oven-safe dish and pour your dip into it. Turn your oven on broil and place your dip in the oven just long enough to get it bubbling.
6. Remove your whipped feta dip and sprinkle with crispy onions and dill. Serve with warm bread or chips.
