This is a easy recipe and it makes a great gift. Feta cheese is marinated in olive oil with several herbs (I use fresh out of my herb garden when I can). You can keep it in chunks or drain it and mash to serve as a spread. Put in a decorative jar or covered bowl and give with crisp pita chips for a delicious gift! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons assorted snipped fresh herbs (such as dill weed, thyme, basil, oregano, parsley ,dry may be used but use only half of what is call) |
2 garlic cloves, minced (i use already chopped) |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 tablespoon cracked peppercorn |
1 teaspoon poppy seed |
8 ounces feta cheese, cubed |
Directions:
1. Place feta cheese in a bowl.
2. In a jar with a tight fitting lid, add all the other ingredients and cap jar.
3. Shake until well blended.
4. Pour over feta and stir gently as not to break up cubes.
5. Divide mixture between 2 half pint jars with lids.
6. Store in the fridge for up to a week.
7. To serve, let cheese come to room temp for about 30 minutes.
8. Serve with assorted crackers, chips or crisp breads.
9. Makes 2 half pint jars.
10. To serve as a spread, mash cheese with some of the marinade to desired thickness.
