01 -

The way it comes together in literally ten minutes means you can rescue any last minute gathering
That punch of heat cuts through rich feta in a way that keeps everyone coming back for just one more bite

02 -

The texture changes in the fridge, so let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving
Taste as you go with the chili because some peppers are way hotter than others

03 -

The food processor makes it silkier but hand-mashing gives you those satisfying small chunks of feta
Let the garlic sit for about 10 minutes after mincing to mellow its sharp edge
