This is a variation on one of my favorite Greek dips called Htipiti or Tirokafteri. Traditionally this dish is whipped rather than mashed, and it's prepared with feta & roasted red peppers, red pepper/chili flakes and a few other ingredients. Here I have created a Greek-Korean fusion dish, making it more rustic by mashing it with a fork and replacing the roasted red peppers and red pepper/chili flakes with a small amount of Gochujang paste, a Korean fermented red pepper paste. No added salt is needed since both the feta cheese and the pepper paste contain salt.
