Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 175 g feta cut into 1'' cubes
  • 2 garlic cloves skin removed
  • 1 bay leaf two if they're small
  • 1 lemon two slices
  • fresh rosemary one sprig; may sub other herbs, like thyme, oregano, dill, marjoram, or tarragon
  • ΒΌ tsp red chili flakes
  • extra-virgin olive oil enough to cover the feta; feel free to use infused oils like basil, garlic, lemon, lime, or chili

Equipment

  • 1 16 oz wide-mouth airtight glass jar
  • 1 paring knife

Method
 

  1. Transfer cubed feta into the jar. Add bay leave(s), garlic cloves, lemon slices, rosemary sprig, and red chili flakes to the jar along with the feta. Pour the extra-virgin olive oil overtop until the feta is just covered.
  2. Close the airtight lid and place in the fridge until you're ready to consume, or take along to your next holiday gathering as a gift for the host.
  3. Bring the jar of marinated feta to room temperature before serving. Olive oil will solidify in the fridge. Don't worry, this is normal! Enjoy as an addition to salads, on bread, or as the star of your charcuterie board!
