Herb & Garlic Marinated Feta image

Really nice on crackers or spread on Bruschetta! Updated 27/09/2006: As pointed out by NeonPrincess, light/lite olive oil is better to use. This is what I normally use and failed to document it. Thanks!!! :-)

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

250 g danish feta cheese
1 teaspoon dried herbs (basil, oregano, parsley, thyme)
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
1 teaspoon basil pesto
cracked black pepper
light olive oil

Steps:

  • Mix into a jar with a good seal (eg. approx 200g glass coffee jar) 1/2 cup of oil and all other ingredients, except Feta Cheese.
  • Cut Feta into approximately 2cm cubes. Add cubes to jar, a few at a time and then swirl oil to coat cheese.
  • When as much cheese is in jar that will fit, cap jar and invert a few times to coat cheese thoroughly, then top up with more oil til all cheese is coated. Invert jar a few more times and refrigerate.
  • The Olive Oil will solidify when refrigerated. Use in salads or serve at room temperature with crusty bread. Reserve marinated oil to use in dressings.
  • Marinate for at least 24 hours, will keep in refrigerator for up to 2 months.

I let the feta marinate for longer than the recipe called for. I think it made the flavor even better!

I used a different type of herb blend than the one in the recipe. I used a mixture of thyme, rosemary, and oregano. It turned out really well!

I'm allergic to garlic, so I omitted it from the marinade. The feta still turned out great! It's not as flavorful as the original recipe, but it's still really good.

This is the best marinated feta I've ever had! It's so easy to make and the flavor is incredible. I love using it on salads, but it's also great as a spread on crackers or bread.

I'm not a huge fan of feta, but this marinated feta is a revelation! The marinade really mellows out the sharpness of the feta and makes it super creamy and flavorful. I've been adding it to everything from salads to pasta to sandwiches.

I followed the recipe exactly and the feta turned out amazing! It's the perfect balance of tangy and savory. I especially love the way the herbs and garlic infuse the feta with flavor.
