Whipped Feta Dip with Spiced Lamb in a bowl on a counter

Ingredients

Whipped Feta

10 ounces feta cheese
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 Tablespoons heavy cream (plus more if needed)

Roasted Tomatoes

6 ounces grape tomatoes
1 Tablespoon olive oil

Spiced Lamb

1/2 pound ground American Lamb
2 Tablespoons onions, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste

To Serve

4 flatbreads or pita breads, warmed and cut into triangles
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or mint, optional
1 Tablespoon toasted pine nuts, optional 

Directions

For the Whipped Feta: In a food processor or blender, add all of the ingredients and blend until smooth and airy. If you find the mixture too thick, add a bit more heavy cream.

For the Roasted Tomatoes: Toss the tomatoes with olive oil and air fry at 350°F for 8-10 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and begin to wrinkle, tossing halfway through. Or, roast them in a 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes.

For the Spiced Lamb: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the American Lamb and onion and cook, breaking up the lamb with a spatula as it cooks. Once browned and cooked through, drain the fat. Stir in the garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, and oregano—season to taste, with salt and pepper.

To Serve:
Spoon the lamb over the whipped feta. Top with the roasted tomatoes, parsley, and pine nuts. Serve with warm flatbread.
