Whipped feta
March 06, 2020 12:04AM
Making whipped feta is my new favourite thing. I whizz it in the blender with sour cream/cream and add varying flavours such as mint, dill, lemon zest, garlic etc.. I think it is lovely with char grilled vegetables, fritters etc...
Do you make it and if so what do you serve it with?

Never heard of it, but does sound good. What proportions of each do you use?

That sounds good thanks, and I must try it. I first came across whipped cheese when thinking about trying to recreate Josh Emmett's goat's cheese profiteroles (sooooooooo delicious), where he instructs "Beat the goat's cheese with a wooden spoon to soften it then add the mascarpone and beat to combine. Fold in the cream then taste and season with salt and white pepper. Transfer the mix to a piping bag."

I will make it again on Sunday and write down the proportions.
You can mix cream, sour cream or cream cheese with the feta.
It is incredibly moreish.

Thanks for the link, Ji. I keep forgetting that the Guardian has so many interesting recipes despite reading the paper most days. That potato recipes looks like something I might like to try.

Ok so I made it today with

200g feta
120g sour cream (or creme fraiche)
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Basically I process it until it is smooth and whipped,.
I think the blender does a better job than the food process at it seems to aerate it more.


Whipped feta blog with other flavour variations will be on the homepage in the next day.

Looks yummy, Helen, I'll be trying it soon. Do you have a preference for the type of feta you use?

Regards,

Barbara Anne

Thank you, Helen. I will try this too. I buy and use feta in salads but actually it's too salty for me so I don't do it often. This would mitigate against the saltiness and open it up to all sorts of uses. Washing up the b****y blender is a pain tho'.

I have done an about turn. Use your food processor not blender.
A regular blender may make hard work of the feta.
I have just made this again for a photo.
Here is my lunch! (and some)

Stephanie, try putting hot water and a squirt of detergent in your blender and then run it for a minute or so, then get in with the brush. That’s what I do with my thermomix and it works a treat. Hardly anything needing the brush.

Helen I make nearly all our feta, and always put cumin seeds in it. That’s a great taste combo. Janet

Karen, your post reminded me that I still had some in the fridge which was left over after I made the dish to take to a neighbour's for dinner over two weeks ago - I had completely forgotten about it as I remember thinking at the time that I would try freezing it.

I have just tasted it and it is still absolutely fine. BTW it went down a treat - we had it with roast lamb.

Regards,

Barbara Anne

This should last quite a few days in the fridge, I would let you nose and eyes be your guide as think it would taste a bit sour before it became dangerous to eat.

Just whipped up a batch yesterday, but added greek oregano to it, and yogurt instead of sour cream. Very addictive. Added chilli sauce to some to serve with Quesadillas.
