Spiced Citrus Marinated Feta
Ingredients:
– 2 blocks (7 oz/200 g each) of feta cheese
– 1/2 cup (120 ml) avocado oil
– 3 tbsp fresh orange juice
1 tbsp finely grated orange zest
– 1 tbsp finely chopped green olives
– 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
– 2 tsp agave syrup
إعلان2
– 1 heaped tsp smoked paprika
– 1 tsp crushed black pepper
– 1/2 tsp ground cumin
Directions:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, orange juice, agave syrup, orange zest, green olives, mint, smoked paprika, crushed black pepper, and ground cumin until well blended.
- Pat the feta dry with a paper towel, then cut it into small bite-sized cubes.
In a large shallow dish, spread a few spoonfuls of the marinade at the bottom. Place the feta cubes on top of the marinade. - Pour the remaining marinade over the feta, ensuring all the cubes are well coated.
Cover the dish and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours. For the best flavor, let it sit for 4 hours or longer. Occasionally stir or gently toss the feta to keep it coated in the marinade. - Before serving, bring the marinated feta to room temperature to enhance the flavors and loosen the marinade.
Your spiced citrus marinated feta is ready to enjoy! It makes a unique appetizer or a vibrant addition to salads and sandwiches!
Enjoy!
