Ingredients

• 300 grams fresh cottage cheese
• 2 red bell peppers
• 1 tea glass crushed walnuts
• 2 cloves crushed garlic
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili flakes
• Half a bunch finely chopped dill
• Salt

Method

1. Roast the red bell peppers in the oven until the skins char, then peel and dice them into small cubes.
2. In a deep bowl, mash the cottage cheese, crushed garlic, and salt with a fork until smooth.
3. Add the diced roasted peppers and half of the crushed walnuts to the cheese mixture and gently stir.
4. Transfer the meze to a serving plate and sprinkle the remaining walnuts on top.

If your cottage cheese is too salty, you can soak it in water briefly and drain it beforehand.
