I'm well aware that everyone knows this marinated feta recipe or does it in their own way, but that's how I cook it - it's a quick appetizer for unexpected guests that just rang a doorbell to your house. Keeps well in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 4 black olives, finely chopped

  • 2 fresh sage leaves, or more to taste

  • 1 clove garlic, crushed

  • 1 red chile pepper (Optional)

  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary, or more to taste

  • ¼ red bell pepper, finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame-ginger seasoning (such as Victoria Gourmet ®)

  • 1 small pepperoncini pepper, finely sliced

  • ½ tablespoon chopped fresh oregano

  • 14 ounces feta cheese, cubed

  • ½ cup olive oil

Directions

  1. Place a layer of olives, sage, garlic, chile pepper, rosemary, bell pepper, sesame-ginger seasoning, pepperoncini pepper, and oregano into the bottom of a container. Add a layer of feta cheese. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients.

  2. Pour olive oil into the container to cover feta mixture completely. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

Cook's Notes:

Sometimes when you buy feta cheese, it happens to be very salty; that's the time when I marinate it. I use this marinated feta as a main ingredient for Greek salad or just topping on toasted baguettes, similar to bruschetta. My friends and family like it.

You can use a green or yellow bell pepper instead of red, green olives instead of black, and rapeseed oil instead of olive oil, if desired.
