Aleppo Pepper and Triple Lime Marinated Feta
This recipe was developed because the author got out of bed too late to get to the farmers’ market early on a Saturday morning, and Coppertail Farm of Waldoboro, Maine, had sold out of its marinated chèvre, which has the same flavor profile. Lime leaves are available at Whole Foods.
Ingredients
- 2 whole lime leaves
- 6-7 ounces brined feta, drained and cut into ½-inch cubes
- 1 lime zest removed in wide pieces and juiced
- 1 tablespoon Aleppo pepper
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup neutral oil
Instructions
- Place 1 lime leaf in the bottom of a wide-mouthed quart jar. Place half of the feta in the jar.Sprinkle half of the Aleppo pepper over the cheese and layer half of the lime zest on top. Add the rest of the cheese and top with remaining Aleppo pepper and lime zest. Add oils and lime juice.
- Cover and give the jar a gentle shake. Refrigerate for 1 week. Before using, let the jar come to room temperature as the oils will have solidified. Store in refrigerator for up to 1 month.
