With just a few ingredients and some hands-off time, feta cheese can be transformed into a delicious appetizer to serve with crostini or as an accompaniment to grilled vegetables and meat. We came up with a trio of super versatile flavor combinations that are all made following the same method. By marinating the feta in glass jars, you'll be able to see the colors of the aromatics, for a beautiful and delicious gift too.

Time 13h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup good-quality extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh oregano
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 strips lemon zest (about 3 inches long; see Cook's Note)
1 bay leaf
8 ounces feta, drained well from brine and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup good-quality extra-virgin olive oil
4 whole chipotle chiles in adobo
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
8 ounces feta, drained well from brine and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup good-quality extra-virgin olive oil
3 canned whole artichoke hearts, drained and halved
4 sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 strips lemon zest (about 3 inches long; see Cook's Note)
8 ounces feta, drained well from brine and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • For each of the above combinations, place all ingredients except for the feta in a small saucepan and gently heat over medium low just until tiny bubbles begin to form, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Once the infused olive oil is cool, transfer half of the aromatics from the saucepan to a 16-ounce Mason jar followed by half of the feta. Repeat layering and then carefully pour the infused olive oil into the jar. Gently press the feta down if needed to ensure it is fully submerged and seal the jar with its lid (see Cook's Note). Place the jar in the refrigerator and allow the feta to marinate for at least 12 hours and up to 5 days.
  • Remove the jar from refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the solidified olive oil to liquify.

MARINATED FETA CHEESE SALAD

Provided by Jamie Oliver

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound feta cheese
Flaked dry red chili
Dried oregano
Dried parsley
Bay leaf
Dried lemon thyme
Dried purple basil
Freshly ground black pepper
Fennel seeds

Steps:

  • Remove the feta cheese from the pack and pat as dry as possible with kitchen towel. Press the flavors into it. Pack the cheese tightly into a jar and cover with olive oil. It will keep in the fridge for up to two months.
  • Tips: Don't use bought dried herbs, instead make your own by drying leftover fresh herbs on a baking sheet. Leave them somewhere warm; e.g. on top of your boiler, washing machine, or oven and they will dry within a week. Or put them in the oven at 200 to 225 degrees for 1 hour.
  • Uses: On a big plate, covered in fresh basil -- served with lots of other salads. As a cheese course, with crusty bread and fruit Don't throw away the oil -- use it in your dressing

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.

I always make my own marinated feta. If you like, you can also add garlic, but my family doesn't like garlic so we prefer this simple variation.
