Ingredients

  • 250 g feta cheese

  • 4 tbsp extra virgin oil

  • 2 garlic cloves , peeled

  • 2 tbsp herbs , finely chopped. (I used parsley and thyme leaves)

  • 1 birds eye chilli , finely chopped (or any fresh red chilli of choice)

  • 1//4 tsp lemon rind , finely grated

  • Black pepper

Directions

  • Infuse olive oil with garlic (optional): use the side of your knife to smash the garlic cloves and combine with the olive oil. Cover, refrigerate and leave for as long as possible – a few hours or preferably overnight.
  • If you do not have the time to do Step 1, just mince 1 garlic clove (small) and stir into the olive oil.
  • Cut the feta into bite size cubes – about 1cm / 1/3 inch.
  • Place feta into serving dish, scatter over herbs, chilli, lemon rind and a grind of black pepper.
  • Pour over olive oil. Serve with crusty bread.
