ingredients
-
marinade
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary
- 1⁄2 tablespoon finely chopped thyme leaves
- 1⁄2 tablespoon finely chopped oregano leaves
- 1⁄4 red bell pepper, very finely chopped
- 4 black olives, very finely chopped
- 1⁄2 cup olive oil (or rapeseed oil)
-
remaining ingredients
- 400 g feta, cubed
- 1 baguette, sliced and toasted if desired
directions
- Mix all the ingredients for the marinade.
- Put cubed feta and marinade into a shallow plastic container with a tight fitting lid. Cover with the lid and marinate in the fridge for 24 hours or more. Turn the container lid-side down after a few hours to make sure the feta gets marinated evenly. You may want to turn your container a few times. (The olive oil may thicken in the fridge, but turn into liquid again at room temperature).
- SERVE:You may want to stick a toothpick into every feta cube or just serve it as it is. Serve with (toasted) slices of baguette.

Loved this recipe. I bought greek feta from my local middle eastern shop and ran home to use this recipe. I replaced the garlic clove with roasted garlic. I took a head of garlic, cut the top off and drizzled olive oil, salt and pepper. Wrapped in foil and roasted it for an hour at 350 degrees. I marinated the cheese overnight and took it out of the fridge 20 minutes before serving to my guests. Thank you for recipe.

Wonderfully flavored dish! I think I cubed my feta a little small as some of it crumbled during the marinating/turning phase. I served with toothpicks on my "no forks allowed) appy table. All the leftovers (including the crumbles & marinade) will magically transform into dressing for salads tonight. Thanks for posting!
