A delightful and easy-to-make marinated feta recipe, perfect for enhancing your appetizers or salads.
Cut the feta cheese into bite-sized cubes.
Use a sharp knife to avoid crumbling the feta.
Crush the garlic, peppercorns, and coriander seeds using a mortar and pestle.
Crushing the spices releases their essential oils, enhancing the flavor.
Layer the feta cubes, crushed spices, bay leaf, and thyme sprigs in a jar.
Ensure even layering for consistent flavor distribution.
Pour olive oil into the jar until the feta is completely submerged.
Use high-quality olive oil for the best taste.
Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
The longer you marinate, the more intense the flavors become.
Serve the marinated feta with chopped tomato and your choice of bread or crackers.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs for a vibrant presentation.
