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

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.

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.

Steps:

• Place grilled green onions, oil, lemon juice, and zest in a food processor and process until smooth. Add the feta and garlic and process until combined and smooth. Scrape the mixture into a bowl and garnish with the additional sliced green onions.
• Heat grill to high. Brush the pitas with the remaining oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill for 1 minute per side or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the grill and cut each pita into eighths. Serve with the feta dip.

Steps:

• Pulse together the feta, basil, and peppercorns in a food processor until combined. Add the olive oil and lemon juice, alternating between each and pulsing after each addition, until the mixture is dense but spreads easily. Remove to a serving plate, garnish with lemon zest, and serve.

Steps:

• Place feta in a small bowl; mash with a fork. Mix in sour cream, scallions, and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Serve with crackers or vegetables.

• Place the feta in a food processor or blender. Add the lemon juice and half of the olive oil. Purée until smooth, then add the remaining olive oil. Stir in the dill and mint. Pour into a small container with a fitted lid and refrigerate until needed. Pack the veg in a low-level container and serve them from it.

Steps:

• Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of the zest, 6 cloves of the garlic, and 3 tablespoons of the rosemary in a large baking dish. Add the chickens and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
• Combine the parsley with the remaining 2 teaspoons lemon zest, 4 cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
• Heat your grill to medium. Wrap 4 bricks in aluminum foil and set aside.Remove the chickens from the marinade, shaking off the excess, and season both sides with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Place the chickens breast side down on the grill and place 2 bricks on top of each chicken. Grill the chickens for 8 to 10 minutes, turn the chickens over, and replace the bricks. Close the cover and continue cooking for 8 to 10 minutes until cooked through (160 to 170 degrees F).
• Transfer the chickens to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. Cut into quarters and sprinkle with the fresh lemon mixture. Serve with grilled lemon wedges.
