Method

Preparation Directions

Prepare the Candied Tomatoes

In a skillet, combine the halved cherry tomatoes and sugar over medium heat. Cook until the tomatoes soften and caramelize slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Make the Whipped Feta

In a food processor, combine feta cheese, cream cheese, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little water or olive oil to reach desired consistency.

Prepare the Crispy Garlic

In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced garlic and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Grill the Pita Bread

Brush the pita bread with olive oil and grill on a hot grill or skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and slightly charred.

Assemble the Dish

Spread the whipped feta on a serving platter. Top with candied tomatoes, chopped pistachios, crispy garlic, and drizzle with chili oil.
