Turkish Fetta Dip

This is a wonderful Turkish recipe that is so simple, yet so yummy. The main issue is straining the yoghurt - which takes time, but is very easy. The amount of strained yoghurt obtained is only about 1/3 or the fresh yoghurt you started with (the rest is the whey), so start with lots of fresh yoghurt.

Serve the dip with Turkish bread, crackers or chopped carrots, celery or capsicum. Yum.

Method

Strain the yoghurt the night before. Pour the tub of yoghurt into a clean tea towel and tie the ends. Hang over a dish to collect the whey. Strain overnight.

Next day, wash the fetta in cold water to reduce the salt. Wash a couple of times if you want it less salty.

Put the broken up fetta, dijon and strained yoghurt into a food processor and whip until smooth.

Chill.

Voila!

Ingredients

  • Strained yoghurt - 150 grams (start with at least a half kilo tub of fresh yoghurt)
  • Sheep’s fetta cheese - 250 grams
  • Dijon mustard - tablespoon
