Roasted Cabbage Wedges over Tirokafteri (Spicy Feta Dip)
Tirokafteri is a spicy, creamy and tangy Greek spread made with feta cheese, hot peppers, olive oil and yogurt. I decided to add in some Boursin for added creaminess and it did not disappoint. This dip is the ideal accompaniment to these caramelized cabbage wedges!
IF you don’t have Boursin for the dip, simply sub in some room temperature cream cheese. If you like this recipe you will love my Roasted Garlic Parmesan Cabbage Wedges or my Easy Roasted Cabbage Salad.
This dish not only tastes good but looks good. I recommend adding some quickly grilled shrimp and making this a complete meal! Do not skip the garnishes of a fresh herb like parsley or chives. I also LOVE toasted sesame seeds on this (and everything). And the must is a drizzle of olive oil (and maybe even some honey too)!
