MARINATED FETA



Marinated Feta image

This is a great recipe for marinated feta. Try to chop the red bell pepper and the olives as small as possible. Together with the green herbs the feta looks really colourful and tastes delicious. The recipe is adapted from a Swiss cooking magazine called 'Le Menu' (September 05). I changed the oil as I prefer olive oil to rapeseed oil. But feel free to use rapeseed oil if desired. The stated amount serves six as an appetizer. Marinating time of 24 hours is included in the cooking time.

1/4 red bell pepper, very finely chopped
4 black olives, very finely chopped
1/2 cup olive oil (or rapeseed oil)
400 g feta, cubed

Steps:

  • 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.

MARINATED OLIVES AND FETA CHEESE

Categories     Garlic     Herb     Olive     Marinate     No-Cook     Cocktail Party     Vegetarian     Feta     Lemon     Winter     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup Kalamata olives or other brine-cured black olives
1 cup cracked green olives
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
10 ounces feta cheese, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
Pita bread, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Mix all olives, 3/4 cup oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, garlic, parsley, lemon peel, 1/2 teaspoon oregano and red pepper in resealable plastic bag. Chill overnight. Place feta on platter. Drizzle with 1/4 cup oil and 3 tablespoons lemon juice. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon oregano and black pepper. Chill at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Place olives and marinade in bowl. Serve olives and feta with pita bread.

Tips:

  • Choose the right feta cheese: Use a firm, block-style feta cheese for this recipe. Avoid crumbled or spreadable feta, as it will not hold its shape well in the marinade.
  • Use high-quality olive oil: The olive oil you use in the marinade will have a big impact on the final flavor of the feta. Choose a good-quality extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
  • Add some herbs and spices: To add extra flavor to the feta, add some herbs and spices to the marinade. Oregano, thyme, rosemary, and basil are all good choices. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
  • Let the feta marinate for at least 24 hours: The longer the feta marinates, the more flavorful it will be. If you're short on time, you can marinate it for as little as 4 hours, but 24 hours is ideal.
  • Serve the feta with crackers, bread, or vegetables: Marinated feta is a delicious appetizer or snack. Serve it with crackers, bread, or vegetables like cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers.

Conclusion:

Marinated feta is an easy and delicious way to enjoy this classic Greek cheese. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a flavorful appetizer or snack that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy feta cheese, give this marinated feta recipe a try.
