Spicy Tomato-Marinated Feta

Prep: 5 min

Total Time: 15 min

Servings: 7

Notes:

Feta can be marinated up to 1 week ahead, tightly wrapped and refrigerated.

Ingredients

½ cup Olive Oil, plus more as needed

2 Garlic Cloves, thinly sliced

2 small-sh (or 1 medium) ripe Tomatoes, (4 to 6 ounces total), coarsely chopped

Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper

2 tablespoons Harissa Paste, or ½ teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

1 tablespoon distilled White Vinegar

8 ounces Feta Cheese, sliced into ¼-inch slabs or ½-inch cubes

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, swirling the skillet occasionally, until the garlic is tender and nearly golden brown, 2-3 minutes.

Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they've broken down into a thick, chunky sauce, 5-8 minutes.

Add the harissa and continue to cook until the sauce is a bit more paste-like, another 3-5 minutes. Remove from the heat, then add the vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Add more olive oil until it becomes savory and spoonable.

Place the feta in a serving dish or bowl and pour the tomato mixture over. Let sit at least 10 minutes, or up to a week in advance, refrigerated. Drizzle with more olive oil before serving.
