MARINATED FETA WITH HERBS AND PEPPERCORNS



Marinated Feta With Herbs and Peppercorns image

The best recipes often make a good ingredient great through minimal effort. For this easy appetizer, start with good-quality feta, preferably in brine, which is creamier than the squeaky supermarket varieties. Many commercial fetas use only cow's milk and can taste somewhat one-note, so look for one that contains both sheep's and goat's milk, which provide the cheese's signature tang. Dice the feta, toss it with preserved lemon, peppercorns and chile, and refrigerate overnight. Spoon it onto crostini, or serve it alongside eggs, fish, salad, grilled or roasted vegetables or atop a bowl of pasta.

Time 10m

Yield About 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more if needed
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons finely chopped preserved lemon, or 4 strips fresh orange zest plus 1 tablespoon juice (from 1 orange)
1 red serrano chile, very thinly sliced (optional)
4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon any combination of whole pink, green, white and black peppercorns, crushed or coarsely chopped
8 ounces firm Greek feta, in brine
Crostini or crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the olive oil, parsley, preserved lemon, chile, oregano and peppercorns.
  • Cut the feta into 1/2-inch cubes and add them to the olive oil mixture. Gently fold together until feta is evenly coated. Transfer to a jar or lidded container and drizzle with more olive oil, if needed to immerse the feta. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
  • Remove from refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving to allow solidified olive oil to return to liquid form. Serve with crackers or crostini, or spoon on top of seared fish, grilled or roasted vegetables, pasta or salad.

MARINATED GREEK FETA



Marinated Greek Feta image

I found this simple, super-quick-to-make recipe for Marinated Greek Feta in the November 2005 issue of the Australian magazine 'Super Food Ideas'. It was one of several recipes for entertaining guests with a Greek banquet. I have posted it for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. The preparation time does not include the overnight chilling time.

Time 5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

500 g Greek feta cheese
1 1/2 cups olive oil
1/4 cup cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried greek oregano leaves
1 bay leaf
500 g marinated greek kalamata olives
crusty bread, to serve

Steps:

  • Cut the feta cheese into 2cm cubes and place them in a shallow, ceramic dish. Combine the oil, pepper, oregano and bay leaf in a jug, pour this over the feta and cover and refrigerate overnight (or longer if time permits).
  • Serve the feta on a mezze platter with olives, skordalia (recipe posted separately) and crusty bread.
  • Note: Refrigeration makes oil "cloudy". If you remove the marinated feta from the refrigerator 1 hour before serving, the "cloudiness" will disperse, and the oil will be clear.
