Submitted by: John Hatzopoulos

Ingredients:
8 ounces crumbled feta cheese
1 large garlic clove, chopped
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp pepper Cayenne
1/8 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp crushed Greek oregano
1 Tbsp wine vinegar
1/3 cup fine quality olive oil

Directions:
In a food processor combine all the ingredients except the olive oil. Process the mixture until smooth. Remove the pusher from the feed tube and add the olive oil in a fine stream while the motor is running. When all the oil is added and copanisti is thick and smooth, turn off the motor. Transfer the copanisti to a covered container and chill until ready to use. Spread the copanisti on fresh crusty bread or toasted pita bread.
