MARINATED FETA THREE WAYS

With just a few ingredients and some hands-off time, feta cheese can be transformed into a delicious appetizer to serve with crostini or as an accompaniment to grilled vegetables and meat. We came up with a trio of super versatile flavor combinations that are all made following the same method. By marinating the feta in glass jars, you'll be able to see the colors of the aromatics, for a beautiful and delicious gift too.

Steps:

  • For each of the above combinations, place all ingredients except for the feta in a small saucepan and gently heat over medium low just until tiny bubbles begin to form, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Once the infused olive oil is cool, transfer half of the aromatics from the saucepan to a 16-ounce Mason jar followed by half of the feta. Repeat layering and then carefully pour the infused olive oil into the jar. Gently press the feta down if needed to ensure it is fully submerged and seal the jar with its lid (see Cook's Note). Place the jar in the refrigerator and allow the feta to marinate for at least 12 hours and up to 5 days.
  • Remove the jar from refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the solidified olive oil to liquify.

1 cup good-quality extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh oregano
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 strips lemon zest (about 3 inches long; see Cook's Note)
1 bay leaf
8 ounces feta, drained well from brine and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup good-quality extra-virgin olive oil
4 whole chipotle chiles in adobo
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
8 ounces feta, drained well from brine and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup good-quality extra-virgin olive oil
3 canned whole artichoke hearts, drained and halved
4 sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 strips lemon zest (about 3 inches long; see Cook's Note)
8 ounces feta, drained well from brine and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

FETA VINAIGRETTE

I find this salad dressing works best on stronger-tasting greens, and it is especially nice when you've used green olives in the salad. It keeps well in the refrigerator for several days, and the flavor actually improves the second day.

  • Mix the first 4 ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Add the olive oil in by dribbles, whisking all the while and until it is completely incorporated.

  • Add salt and pepper to taste, if needed (keeping in mind that the feta will probably already be somewhat salty).

CRANBERRY PECAN SALAD WITH FETA CHEESE

After having something similar in a restaurant, I just had to start making these at home. Now I'm addicted! When they are in season, I substitute fresh blueberries and/or strawberries for the dried cranberries. Also delicious!

GREEK-STYLE FETA POTATO SALAD WITH VINAIGRETTE

This is another great potato salad from my collection... I have even added in a couple of tablespoons of Feta cheese when processing the vinaigrette dressing. This complete recipe may be doubled if desired.. NOTE: If you should decide to add in a bit of garlic, only add in about 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, as fresh garlic just seems to overpower the salad, but it is just as good without the garlic..... you are going to just love this potato salad, so I DO suggest you double the recipe lol!
