Marinated Roasted Peppers And Feta

About

Brenda Gantt

I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

Serve these Mediterranean-inspired feta cubes and roasted peppers with sliced baguette
or pita wedges to soak up the spicy, herb-infused oil. Crushing the fresh herbs before adding
them to the oil mixture releases more of their pleasing aromas and flavours.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup chopped drained jarred roasted red peppers
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 sprigs each fresh oregano and thyme, crushed
  • 1/4 tsp hot pepper flakes
  • 280 g feta cheese (see tip, right), cubed

PREPARATION

  • In shallow dish, stir together red peppers, oil, oregano, thyme and hot
    pepper flakes; stir in feta.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

TIP FROM THE TEST KITCHEN
Feta cheese is brined to give
it a salty flavour—rinse it you
find it’s too salty for your taste.
