Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Verwenden Sie für einen noch aromatischeren Geschmack extra-natives Olivenöl. Rösten Sie die Tomaten unbedingt, bis sie leicht karamellisieren – so entfaltet sich ihre natürliche Süße. Der Feta lässt sich am besten auf Raumtemperatur und cremig verarbeiten. Sollte die Konsistenz zu fest sein, geben Sie teelöffelweise mehr Joghurt hinzu.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Für einen Hauch Schärfe streuen Sie etwas Chili-Flocken über die Tomaten, bevor Sie sie rösten. Wer mag, kann das Basilikum durch Schnittlauch, Petersilie oder Frühlingszwiebeln ersetzen. Noch mehr Biss bringen geröstete Pinienkerne oder Walnüsse als Topping ins Spiel.

Serviervorschläge

Servieren Sie die Dipplatte am besten in der Mitte des Tisches zum Teilen. Dazu passen warme Pita-Fladen, glutenfreie Cracker oder krosses Baguette sowie knackiges Gemüse wie Gurken, Möhren und Paprika. Ideal als Teil einer Vorspeisenplatte – zusammen mit Hummus und Oliven ein echter Mittelmeer-Genuss.
