Method

1
Prepare
Deseed pepper and cut broad pieces. Place in a shallow dish with oil. Finely chop garlic and reserve so it does not burn before pepper cooks. Use a heatproof dish suitable for the appliance, leaving space around it for airflow. Do not preheat with loose paper.

2
Precook and drain
If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 180 °C. Roast about 18 minutes at 180 °C, turning once, until soft. Skin may brown lightly but should not char black.
-
3
Cook
Add feta chunks, garlic, pepper and oregano. Heat about another 8 minutes at 170 °C. Feta should become hot and slightly soft; strong browning is unnecessary.

4
Blend and season
Cool about 5 minutes. Blend with yogurt and lemon in a tall open container using a suitable hand blender, avoiding splashes. Do not blend hot ingredients under pressure in a closed cup. Taste and serve warm or chilled.
