Marinated Feta
- 6 ounces block feta cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs (I like thyme basil, oregano)
- pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- olive oil enough to cover the cheese
Take the sweet cherry peppers and gently stuff them with the goat cheese.
Arrange all the ingredients on a large platter or wood cutting board. Drizzle a little olive oil over the hummus. Serve with assorted breads and crackers so people can mix and match their bites depending in their tastes.
Marinated Olives
Add the olive oil and garlic to a small saucepan and set over medium low heat. Bring the oil to a simmer and then reduce the heat to LOW. Simmer, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until fragrant. Remove from the heat, stir in olives. Add crushed red pepper to taste. Can be served warm or chilled. Olives can be stored in a glass jar in the fridge for up to 1 week.
