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

Ingredients

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.

Tips:

Choose the right feta cheese: Use a high-quality feta cheese made from sheep's milk or a blend of sheep's and goat's milk. Look for a feta that is firm and crumbly, with a slightly salty and tangy flavor.
Prepare the feta cheese properly: Before marinating, cut the feta cheese into 1-inch cubes and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help the marinade penetrate the cheese evenly.
Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the feta cheese its unique flavor, so make sure to use a combination of flavorful ingredients. Some popular ingredients for Greek feta marinades include olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
Marinate the feta cheese for at least 2 hours: The longer the feta cheese marinates, the more flavorful it will be. However, you can marinate the cheese for up to 24 hours if you want a more intense flavor.
Use the marinated feta cheese in a variety of dishes: Marinated feta cheese can be used in a variety of dishes, including salads, sandwiches, pasta dishes, and grilled meats. It can also be crumbled and used as a topping for soups and stews.

Conclusion:

Marinated feta cheese is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. With its salty, tangy flavor and creamy texture, marinated feta cheese is sure to add a unique and flavorful touch to your next meal.
