Step 2
Pur?e red peppers, pepperoncini, and cayenne pepper in the food processor until smooth. Add pepper pur?e to feta.

Tips

This is a good recipe for experimenting. Some similar recipes use Greek yogurt instead of ricotta. You can substitute a couple of jalape?o peppers and a bit of garlic for the pepperoncini if desired. The roasted red bell peppers give this dip its color, but you can substitute for them as well.
