Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Feta cheese
- 120 milliliters Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 3 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 1 leaf Bay leaf
Instructions
Cut the feta cheese into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1-inch in size. Set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
In a clean glass jar or container with a lid, layer the feta cubes along with the garlic slices, rosemary sprigs, thyme sprigs, red chili flakes, lemon zest, black peppercorns, and bay leaf.
Pour the olive oil over the feta and aromatics, ensuring the feta is fully submerged. Add more olive oil if necessary.
Seal the jar with the lid and gently shake it to distribute the herbs and spices evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. For the best taste, let it marinate for 48 hours.
Serve the marinated feta at room temperature. Enjoy it with crusty bread, tossed into salads, or as part of a charcuterie board.
