THE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

• 15-18 sweet cherry peppers

• 4 ounces goat cheese

• 1 pound assorted thinly sliced deli meats

• marinated feta (recipe follows)

• marinated olives (recipe follows)

• 1 cup hummus, homemade or store bought

• strawberries or other fruits

• almonds or other nuts

• fresh pita

• 1 cup tzatziki, homemade or store bought

• fresh pita

MARINATED FETA

• 6 ounces block feta cut into 1/2 inch cubes

• 1/4 cup fresh herbs (I like thyme basil, oregano)

• pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

• extra virgin olive oil, enough to cover the cheese

MARINATED OLIVES

• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

• 6 garlic cloves

• 2 cups mixed kalamata and green olives

• crushed red pepper flakes, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Gently stuff the cherry peppers with goat cheese. Assemble all of the ingredients on a large platter.

MARINATED FETA

Add the cubed feta, herbs and crushed red pepper to large glass jar or bowl. Pour enough olive oil over top so that the oil completely covers the feta. Place in the fridge for at least one hour or up to two weeks.

MARINATED OLIVES

Add the olive oil and garlic to a small saucepan and set over medium low heat. Bring the oil to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until fragrant. Remove from the heat and stir in the olives. Add the crushed red pepper to taste.
