A Canadian visitor reached out to Greenpointers because she fell in love with Radio Star’s Feta and Roasted Red Pepper Jar, one of the restaurant’s signature appetizer dips. Radio Star (13 Greenpoint Ave.) was flattered and immediately sent over the recipe, which all readers can find below.
This week, another popular menu item from Radio Star was the inspiration for a collaboration with local ice cream parlor Caffè Panna (16 Norman Ave.). The pistachio tiramisu affogato sundae, inspired by Radio Star’s pistachio tiramisu, contains pistachio latte ice cream, pistachio mascarpone, toasted Sicilian pistachios, panna, and espresso. The special sundae started selling on Wednesday and is available until Sunday or until supplies run out.

Radio Star’s Feta and Roasted Red Pepper Jar
Ingredients
1 8-ounce block of feta cheese
3/4 cup of roasted red peppers, seeded and cut into strips
Sprig of fresh thyme
Olive oil
Directions
- Place feta and peppers in a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Spoon into a jar (or container of choice) and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and pieces of thyme.
- Serve with crudités, crackers, or bread. (Radio Star uses toasted baguette.)
Myself and a group of seniors tried one of Radio Star’s signature pastries ie the orange, lemon something or other tart for $8. Good but nothing to write home to mother about but for that price I expected the earth to move. Save your money hipsters. Go to Peter Pan donuts and get a heavenly donut of many flavors for $2 bucks that will melt in your mouth. I guess if I was 50 yrs. younger I would be standing in the Radio Star long line too.
