Instructions
Haydari with roasted peppers
Halve the peppers and remove the stalks and seeds.
Place them on a baking tray, skin side up, and roast in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 20 minutes. The skin should blister and darken slightly.*They can also be cooked in an air fryer for about 18 minutes at 180°C.
Let the peppers cool slightly before removing the skin, then leave them to cool completely on a plate. They must not be warm when they are blended with the other ingredients.
Blend the peppers, feta, parsley and garlic to a smooth cream.I use a mini chopper.
Transfer to a bowl, stir in the yogurt and season to taste with salt, pepper and chilli flakes, if using.
The salad
Cut the pepper into small dice, finely slice the spring onions and chop the parsley.
Toss the salad with the oil and lemon juice and season with freshly ground pepper.
Layered haydari with roasted peppers
Spread the haydari dip over a plate, top with the crisp salad and sprinkle with a few chilli flakes, if you like, before serving.
