1 Chive 

1 Garlic clove 

1 tsp Red Chilli flakes 

1 tsp Za'atar 

5 tbsp Steens Manuka Honey 

2 tbsp lemon juice 

Salt and black pepper 

1 tsp sesame seeds, black and white 

1 tbsp Olive Oil 

200g Feta cheese 

100g Ricotta 

50g Sour Cream 

1

Ensure that your feta, ricotta and sour cream are at room temperature. Blend with salt and pepper in a food processor on high until smooth. 

 

2

In a saucepan, heat olive oil. Add garlic and saute on a very low heat until soft. Remove pan from heat and stir in chili flakes, honey and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Scoop the whipped feta mixture into a bowl, and drizzle with the spicy honey. Garnish with chives, za'atar, sesame seeds and salt and pepper to taste, and serve with toasted pita crisps or crudites, or a side dish to accompany a home cooked Turkish style meal. 

*if you don't have Za'atar, you can easily make your own substitute by combining dried oregano, thyme and/or marjoram, with sumac and toasted sesame seeds.
