Ingredients
- 5 medium size tomatoes
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 onion
- olive oil, kosher salt, pepper
- 6 oz crumbled feta cheese
- 2 to 3 cloves garlic
- 2 Tbsps lemon juice
- 1 1/2 Tbsps Italian seasoning
- 1/2 to 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (more or less depending on spice preference)
- Pita chips or toasted pita or Naan bread for dipping
Instructions
- Cut the tomatoes in half and squeeze them cut side down in a bowl to get out most of the juice and seeds. Cut the red pepper in half and remove the stem and seeds. Peel the onion and cut into 2 or 3 thick slices.
- Place the tomatoes, red pepper, and onion on a tray, drizzle both sides with olive oil and season with kosher salt and pepper.
- Set your smoker or pellet grill to 225 degrees. Place the tomatoes, red pepper, and onion slices on the grill grate for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, flipping halfway through.
- Carefully remove them with tongs or a spatula and place them back on the tray. Let them cool slightly.
- Put the tomatoes, red pepper, onion, feta, garlic, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes in a food processor or blender. Blend on low for at least a minute or until evenly mixed. Taste and add kosher salt and pepper if needed.
- Refrigerate several hours and serve with pita chips or toasted pita or Naan bread for dipping.
