Orange and sun-dried tomato feta

Instructions

• Drain feta, if necessary. Taste feta. If it is really salty, rinse quickly under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels, then cut into 1/2-inch (1-cm) cubes. Place in a large glass jar or container just a little larger than feta but still big enough that you can gently stir mixture.

• In a small bowl, whisk oil with honey. Thinly slice garlic and grate peel from orange and add. Drain sun-dried tomatoes then coarsely chop. They should measure about 1/4 cup (50 mL). Stir into oil mixture with capers, dill and fennel seeds and pepper. Pour over cheese. Stir to gently mix.

• Cover and refrigerate at least overnight, preferably up to 3 days, before using. Occasionally turn jar or gently stir to redistribute marinade. Feta will keep well, covered and refrigerated, up to 2 weeks. Remove from refrigerator about 1 hour before serving. Then place cheese in a shallow bowl. Drizzle with some of the marinade and sprinkle with green onions. Wonderful with slices of toasted baguette.
