Tirokafteri is a typical meze dish / cheese spread in Greece and Macedonia. It's great with warm toasted pita bread or on flat-breads of any kind. Easy to make on the spot or even in advance for a house party. Enjoy :)

Ingredients (for a small bowl):
- 200 g crumbled feta
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small dried chile
- juice from half a lemon
- freshly ground black pepper
- a few kalamata olives
- pita bread or pita chips to serve
Puree the feta, olive oil, crumbled chile, lemon juice and pepper in a blender (or use a fork to mash it all up together). Let it rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.

It's done, dig in! :)
