Method
-
step 1
Chop the olives, apricots, figs and peppers into small chunks, then mix together in a bowl. Add the orange zest, then mix.
-

Crumble the feta into a food processor, then add the garlic, lemon zest and juice, and dill. Whizz for 1 min at maximum speed, then scrape down the sides.
-
step 3
Add 1 tbsp of the soured cream, whizz again for 1 min, then scrape down again. Repeat with another tbsp of soured cream, whizzing for 1-2 mins until completely smooth. Taste for seasoning, adding more lemon, pepper or salt if needed. If you like it extra creamy, add another 1 tbsp of soured cream.
