Equipment

  • small baking dish
  • food processor or hand beater

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup artichokes, jarred
  • 2 tbsp Chrisopigi extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
  • pinch of pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 cup crumbled feta, room temperature (8 oz or 259 g. )
  • 1/2 cup goat cheese
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
  • pinch pepper
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (extra for drizzling over dip)
  • 1/4 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, garnishing

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Place cherry tomatoes in a rimmed baking sheet or dish, drizzle with olive oil, then add oregano, salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then add artichokes and garlic. Roast for 20-25 minutes, once tomatoes are soft and begin to burst, remove from oven and allow to cool in baking sheet/dish. While the tomatoes are cooling, add the chickpeas to allow them to take on some of the flavours of the tomatoes, artichokes and garlic.    
  • Using a food processor, add feta and goat cheese. Remove roasted garlic from the baking dish and add into the food processor. Add honey, salt and pepper. Pulse, and drizzle with olive oil until it is smooth.
  • Transfer to a serving dish and add a swirly spiral with the back of a spoon. Drizzle olive oil, and once the tomatoes and artichokes have cooled, then lay over the whipped feta, along with the chickpeas. Garnish with dill.
  • Serve with pita, grilled ciabatta, baguette, crackers or vegetables.

Notes

You can make the whipped feta ahead of time and store in the refrigerator. Make the roasted tomatoes and artichokes few hours before serving. If you need to refrigerator, simply warm in the microwave, enough to take the chill out about 20 seconds. Bring the whipped feta out to room temperature before adding the roasted tomatoes and artichokes.
