It's been a while! Lots of moving around in my life - in lots of ways! Now I'm in San Francisco and in a world of new food! When exploring a new city...looking for a job...you come across lots of inexpensive restaurants - most of which are cheap for a reason...they're gross. My good friend, Amy, and I have come to love a certain Greek chain that serves a cold spread/dip called "Fire Feta". It has a little bite, a little creaminess, lots of cheesiness and is heavenly.
We did reconnaissance, and by reconnaissance I mean we bought food to take it apart, and through a thinly spread smear of this "Fire Feta" across a plate I named as many ingredients as I could recognize. Through experimentation and a few misguided attempts I believe the code to be cracked. Get ready...

Shopping list:
Feta (16 oz.)
Greek Yogurt (8 oz.)
Ketsup (1/4 cup)
Sriracha (2 1/2 tbsp.)
2 small/1 large jalapeƱo(s), chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1 green onion, tops only, chopped
Ground Pepper (about 1/2 tbsp.)
1/2 tsp. fresh thyme (optional)
You must line all of the chopped ingredients out like this or it won't taste the same.
Mix everything except the cheese in a large bowl.
Remember at this point that you only needed to throw the cheese in and incorporate everything together - instead of dirtying up another bowl.
Transfer into a Tupperware container or into a serving dish and refrigerate. There will be a little separation as the spread sits and the flavors marry - just give a quick stir and it's all back to normal.

Pita chips are the easiest thing to make in the world. Cut pita bread into small "chip size bites" and bake at 400 degrees for 5-10 minutes depending on the freshness of the pita. Cool and POOF! A pita chip!
This is a delicious munchy food to have around for yourself or for a gathering. It's also very simple. Give it a try....wow it's been a while...make sure it makes it in and around your mouth!
