Total Time: 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 500 g greek feta cheese
• 1 1/2 cups olive oil
• 1/4 cup cracked black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried greek oregano leaves
• 1 bay leaf
• 500 g marinated greek kalamata olives
• crusty bread, to serve

Recipe

• 1 cut the feta cheese into 2cm cubes and place them in a shallow, ceramic dish. combine the oil, pepper, oregano and bay leaf in a jug, pour this over the feta and cover and refrigerate overnight (or longer if time permits).
• 2 serve the feta on a mezze platter with olives, skordalia (recipe posted separately) and crusty bread.
• 3 note: refrigeration makes oil "cloudy". if you remove the marinated feta from the refrigerator 1 hour before serving, the "cloudiness" will disperse, and the oil will be clear.
