Preparation

Step 1

If you’re not great in the kitchen, this recipe is a good place to start. Your family, friends and party guests will be impressed beyond belief when you tell them that you marinated these little nuggets yourself.

DIRECTIONS:

Placed herbs, spices, pressed garlic and lemon peel into a good-sized glass jar. I use an old jelly jar and it works perfectly.

Add a little olive oil and stir or swish the herbs around to loosen them up. Gently place the feta squares into the jar and cover with the remaining olive oil.

Place the lid on the jar and gently tip the jar over to release the herbs from the bottom. Careful not to toss or shake so as to not break up the feta squares. Do this a few times to make sure the feta squares are coated with olive oil and herbs. Allow to sit for a few minutes before tipping the jar over again. Repeat a few more times before placing into the refrigerator for some serious marinating.
