Marinated Goat Feta
My Mother's Recipe
Here’s a great way to recycle your pickle and jam jars, I also like to use one off vintage finds, they make special gifts and can be used again and again. I prefer goat feta for it’s creamier texture, but sheep or cow feta work well too.
Ingredients:
5 small wide mouth jars
15 cloves of garlic
20 small Thai red chilies, fresh or dried
5 large sprigs fresh rosemary
1 ¼ lb goat feta
4 to 5 c extra virgin olive oil
Preparation:
Thoroughly wash and dry jars. Place 2 cloves garlic, 2 chilies, 1 sprig of rosemary and a pinch of pepper corns in the bottom of each jar. Cut feta into cubes and place 2 or 3 in each jar and cover with olive oil. Layer more garlic, chili, pepper corns, feta and olive oil until jars are full. Gently press cubes of feta down so they are completely submerged in oil. Tightly secure lids and store in the refrigerator. Allow feta to marinate at least a week before eating
Servings:
5 small jars
