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)!

Really good. My husband doesn’t like cabbage (or feta) and he liked it and was surprised that he did. Kids ate it too (teens, with and without cheese sauce). Very delicious and healthy side dish.
Hi Jennifer, Well that’s a great compliment because your converted your husband! lol
I’m so glad you tried the recipe and liked it!
Hi, this sounds so good. How long can the dip be kept in the fridge? Also the cauliflower?Thanks so much.

Is it not odd that the dip is aupposedly a feta dip, but in the recipe there’s no feta and instead Boursin is used?
HI Mona, I have feta listed as the first ingredient in the list and its clear on the instructions as well that it is included. The dip uses both feta and Boursin. I also state in the notes that you can sub in cream cheese for the Boursin. Enjoy!
