Note
Aromatic marinated feta cheese, perfect for any dinner party starter, buffet table, picnic or for a light luncheon dish!
Directions
| Step 1 | Place the feta in a dish just a little bigger than the block of cheese and sprinkle with the cumin and coriander. |
| Step 2 | Pour over the olive oil, which should just come to the top of the cheese and then sprinkle over the remaining ingredients. |
| Step 3 | Cut into equal squares and spoon the oil over the cheese. Cover and place in the fridge for 2 hours. |
| Step 4 | Serving Notes: Try crumbling on broccoli or sweet corn, a perfect seasonal delight. Or pierced with a piece of chorizo. Spread generously on toasted sour dough drizzled with the oil, sprinkle onto salad, or just eat greedily straight from the bowl, it’s worth it. |
