CHEF ILONA: Festive Whipped Feta Dip w/ Cranberry Chutney

Creating a festive and delicious spread that will guarantee an experience that is merry and bright for your guests can be low-stress and even fun by curating a graze comprised of a selection of versatile dips. My dips can be used as a flavour foundation for a canape, a crunchy lettuce wrap, or in its natural state as a dip.

How to serve whipped feta dip: Top my whipped feta dip with homemade cranberry chutney, toasted pistachio, and honey for the ultimate sweet-salty combination. You can get creative here. The toasted pistachios add an incredible crunch to your dip but leave them off if you’re not a fan. Don’t feel like turning on the stove? Top this dip with our cranberry relish instead or jam you made in the summertime.

Feta’s salt and tang make it a versatile cheese that can both contrast and enhance other flavors.

For the best pairings:

Balance its saltiness with sweet fruits, mild grains, and fresh greens. Complement its acidity with earthy, robust flavors like nuts, olives, and roasted vegetables. Enhance its Mediterranean character with herbs, olive oil, and spices like oregano and dill. These pairings allow feta’s unique qualities to elevate both simple and complex dishes, adding brightness, richness, and a delightful contrast in texture and flavor.

Whipped Feta Dip

Cranberry Topping:

Juice and zest of 1 orange

3 Tbsp. honey

1 ½ cups fresh or frozen cranberries

1 sprig thyme, plus 2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme leaves

In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk orange juice and honey until combined and bring to a boil.

Add cranberries and thyme sprig and return to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally just until cranberries burst and

become saucy; approximately 7 to 8 minutes.

Remove the thyme sprig, and then stir in orange zest and chopped thyme leaves.

Whipped Feta:

6 oz. feta in brine, cut into small cubes and drained

1 clove garlic, grated or minced

1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (my preference is Aleppo pepper flakes or gochugaru)

1 cup cream cheese, room temperature

3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

In a food processor, pulse feta, garlic, red pepper flakes, and chopped thyme until feta is broken up into small crumbs.

Add cream cheese and pulse until combined.

With the food processor running, drizzle in oil and blend until mixture is smooth and fluffy.

Transfer dip to a serving dish and top with cranberry topping.

Garnish options: Toasted chopped pistachios, chopped parsley, additional orange zest, additional drizzle of honey, walnuts, and fresh thyme.
