Broiled Feta + Hot Pepper Relish

• portions: MAKES AN APSETIES FOR B

Ingrédients

1 small banana pepper, seeded and chopped

1 orange bell pepper, cored, seeded, and chopped

½ poblano chile, seeds and ribs removed, chopped

1 serrano or habanero chile, seeds and ribs removed, chopped

1 garlic clove

⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained

½ teaspoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon olive oil

One 6-ounce brick feta cheese, drained and patted dry

Toasted baguette slices or crackers, for serving

Instructions

1. Put the peppers, chiles, garlic, tomatoes, and salt in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.

2. Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the pepper-chile mixture and cook until every-

thing is tender, about 5 minutes.

3. Spread the mixture in a small casserole, covering the bottom. Center the cheese on top. Position a rack in the broiler sufficiently below the heat source to accommodate the casserole. Turn on the broiler, to high if you have that option. Broil until the cheese is brown on top and the pepper-chile mixture is slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately, with the bread on the side.
