Feta And Scallion Dip With Olive Oil And Lemon Bobby Flay Recipes

LEMONY WHIPPED FETA WITH CHARRED SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Heat the broiler and line a sheet pan with foil. Juice 1 whole lemon to get 3 tablespoons juice and set aside. Cut the remaining 1/2 lemon into 3 to 4 thin slices.
• In a medium bowl, toss together the lemon slices, scallions and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place on sheet pan and broil until blackened, tossing occasionally, 7 to 9 minutes for the scallions and about another 5 minutes for the lemon slices. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly.
• In a food processor, add the feta, cream cheese, remaining 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, reserved lemon juice, black pepper, cayenne and hot water. Purée until very smooth, then add almost all of the scallions (save 1 or 2 pieces and chop roughly for a garnish). Pulse to combine, leaving some chunky scallion pieces. Taste for lemon, adjusting as needed.
• Transfer to a bowl, then garnish with charred lemon slices, the reserved scallion, black pepper and a pinch of cayenne.

FETA AND SCALLION DIP WITH OLIVE OIL AND LEMON (BOBBY FLAY)

Steps:

• Combine the chopped scallions, oil, lemon zest and lemon juice in a food processor and process until smooth. (If you don't have a food processor, you can use an electric mixer or a wooden spoon instead, but the dip will not be as smooth). Add the feta and process until smooth.
• Scrape the mixture into a serving bowl. (The dip can be made up to this point a few hours in advance, covered and kept refrigerated). Bring to cool room temperature before serving).
• When ready to serve, season to taste with salt and pepper and garnish with the sliced scallion.
• Heat your grill to high.
• Brush the pitas with a little oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the pitas for 1 minute on each side, until lightly browned. Remove from the grill and cut each pita into 8 wedges for serving. Serve warm with the dip.

FETA LEMON DIP

Steps:

• 1. Place the feta, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil in a blender and whir until combined but still slightly chunky. It's dense, so you may need to stir it with a fork once or twice. Taste, and if it's too salty add more lemon juice. 2. Spoon into a serving bowl, drizzle with a little oil, and sprinkle with a pinch of pepper flakes and some lemon zest. 3. Serve with crudités, chips, toasts or pita crisps.

GRILLED CORN ON THE COB WITH GARLIC WHIP, DILL AND FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium. Remove the corn from the soaking water, shake it dry a few times and place on the grill. Grill, covered, until the kernels are tender, turning a few times, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the garlic, lemon juice and salt in a blender and blend until smooth (add a splash of water if necessary). With the motor running, slowly add the canola oil and the olive oil. Blend until the mixture is emulsified and thickened; then continue blending until a thick, buttery consistency is reached.
• Remove the corn from the grill; pull back the husks, brush with the garlic whip, and sprinkle with feta and dill. Serve immediately.
