fresh parsley,finely chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Add the pine nuts to a dry skillet over medium heat. Keep moving the pine nuts around to prevent them from burning. Once the pine nuts begin to smell smoky and nutty, and turn a golden brown colour, remove them from the heat and transfer to a shallow, wide bowl to stop the cooking and to cool the pine nuts completely. Set aside.
Add all ingredients (in the order listed) to a blender. Do not add the pine nuts!
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Remove from blender to a bowl. Set aside a tablespoon of the pine nuts, but stir the rest into the whipped feta.
Garnish with parsley, the remaining pine nuts, and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
