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. The preparation time does not include the overnight chilling time. 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 |
Directions:
1. 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).
2. Serve the feta on a mezze platter with olives, skordalia (recipe posted separately) and crusty bread.
3. 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.
