Red Pepper Soup With Feta Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, process undrained peppers with chicken broth, garlic, oregano, and basil until smooth.
• Transfer liquid to a saucepan, and heat over medium-low heat. Simmer for 5 minutes. Slowly whisk in cream, and heat through.
• Serve in soup bowls over crumbled feta cheese. Sprinkle additional feta cheese and oregano on top for garnish.

Steps:

• Start by melting the olive oil and cooking the finely chopped onion over a low heat with the basil. Important that it doesn't take any colour. After a couple of minutes I usually add a little water then turn down the heat, cover with a lid and leave to 'sweat' for 5 minutes.
• When the onion is translucent add the tinned tomatoes. Please don't skimp when you buy your tinned tomatoes - you get what you pay for - the cherry tomatoes have an even more intense flavour. 3 large tins is exactly the right amount.
• At the same time add the red peppers. Drain them first. Simmer, covered for about 10 minutes. You can, if you wish, use fresh peppers but you will need to burn the skins and de-seed (you would need 4 large fresh red peppers - no other colour works). The ready prepared variety are much easier and there is no loss of flavour. I buy mine in a jar - they have been charred and the skin removed and are with brine/vinegar.
• Allow the soup to cool a little. Add the sweet chilli sauce - I usually add a good 'glug' - if I had to give a quantity I would say around 4 tbs - but to your taste. Dont miss it out though as it doesn't taste the same without it.
• Liquidise the soup, adding the feta cheese which you should cut into small cubes.
• Reheat to serve but don't let it boil. The flavour is so intense it is perfect as it is but, for a dinner party, you could crumble some extra feta on the top and add a bit of basil.
• A crowd pleaser and always sure to impress.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Wrap a 3-foot piece of foil around the center of the pan, scooting it down as best you can.
• Cut the tops off the peppers and hollow out the centers to remove the membranes and seeds. Using a small spoon is easiest. Set aside.
• Add the garlic to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the feta, cream cheese, oil, pepperoncini and juice. Pulse until it is a smooth mixture. Sprinkle in the parsley and oregano, then pulse a few more times until blended. Spoon the cheese mixture into the hollowed peppers.
• Arrange the peppers so that they are standing up nestled side-by-side in a single layer in the prepared Bundt pan. Bake until the cheese mixture is golden, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with parsley. Let cool slightly before eating, or serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic until soft, about 10 minutes. Add roasted peppers and saute until heated through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Place mixture in the bowl of a food processor with stock and all but 2 tablespoons of the feta. Process until combined and smooth, about 30 seconds. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water. Toss pasta with sauce, adding pasta water by the tablespoon, if needed. Sauce should cling nicely to pasta. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Divide among pasta bowls. Sprinkle with parsley and remaining feta cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Add peppers; cook, stirring, until tender, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a food processor with feta and cream cheese; pulse. Spread into a 6-inch ovenproof skillet. Bake until bubbly, about 10 minutes. Serve with crackers.

Steps:

• Combine bell peppers, feta cheese, and onion in a large bowl.
• Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, honey, garlic, salt, pepper, and sugar in a small lidded jar and shake vigorously to combine. Pour over salad and toss to combine.

Steps:

• In a food processor, puree reasted peppers, garlic and cayenne.
• Add feta and olive oil, pulse until just blended.
• Serve with grilled pita bread, crackers, French bread chunks or baguette slices.
