Ingredients
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 gloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. fresh chives
- 1 Tbs. fresh parsley
- 1 tsp. fresh rosemary
- 1 Tbs. finely chopped red bell pepper
- 2 tsp. fine lemon zest
- 2 medium kalamata olives, finely shopped
- fresh ground black pepper
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 (4oz) feta cheese - be sure to get the block, not the crumbles
Instructions
- In a medium size microwave-safe bowl, heat olive oil on high for 1 minute. Add garlic and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Add all other ingredients except the feta.
- Place feta in a medium size ziploc bag and add oil/herb mixture. Place bag in a clean bowl in refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to 48 hours in advance. Turn bag every now and then to keep all sides of feta covered with oil/herb mixture.
- Bring to room temperature by removing bag from refrigerator about an hour before serving. To serve, remove feta block from bag and place on a small serving tray. Drizzle herb mixture over the top. Serve with crostini, crackers or a loaf of warm, crusty bread.
