Mediterranean Cheese Spread

    The flavour of this recipe gets 10 stars easily- looking through the ingredients list I knew I'd love it and I did. The only reason it lost a star in the rating is because it came out the consistency of a dip rather than solid enough to shape into a cheeseball. I pushed the red pepper/ olive mix into a sieve which worked really well to drain as much liquid as possible. used low fat feta as well as fat free cream cheese and followed the rest as written. I'll certainly try it again, perhaps with half the cream cheese so it can be shaped as it would be brilliant to serve to company. Made for PAC Spring 2012.
