Prep Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Servings: 6
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 4 black olives, finely chopped
  2. 2 fresh sage leaves, or more to taste
  3. 1 clove garlic, crushed
  4. 1 red chile pepper (Optional)
  5. 1 sprig fresh rosemary, or more to taste
  6. ¼ red bell pepper, finely chopped
  7. 1 tablespoon toasted sesame-ginger seasoning (such as Victoria Gourmet ®)
  8. 1 small pepperoncini pepper, finely sliced
  9. ½ tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  10. 14 ounces feta cheese, cubed
  11. ½ cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. Place a layer of olives, sage, garlic, chile pepper, rosemary, bell pepper, sesame-ginger seasoning, pepperoncini pepper, and oregano into the bottom of a container. Add a layer of feta cheese. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients.
  2. Pour olive oil into the container to cover feta mixture completely. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
  3. Sometimes when you buy feta cheese, it happens to be very salty; that’s the time when I marinate it. I use this marinated feta as a main ingredient for Greek salad or just topping on toasted baguettes, similar to bruschetta. My friends and family like it.
  4. You can use a green or yellow bell pepper instead of red, green olives instead of black, and rapeseed oil instead of olive oil, if desired.
  5. Nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of marinade ingredients. The actual amount of marinade consumed will vary.
