Ingredients

  • 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

Method

  • 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.
