Marinated Goats Cheese Spread Recipe

	Kdt / All my dishes 1 year, 10 months ago A really simple marinated goats' cheese starter that even I can make. It astounds me every time - it's so good and so effortless! Somehow the flavours combine beautifully and the whole is far greater than the sum of the parts. Prep:20m Servings:25	Kdt

Ingredients

1 lb plain goats' cheese (I use a low fat one)

About 20-25 calamata olives, pitted and chopped

About 8-10 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (I use ones that come marinated in vinaigrette)

1 large bunch of fresh basil leaves, chopped

Fistful of Italian parsley leaves, chopped

Very large, rubbed pinches each of dried marjoram, rosemary & thyme

5-8 medium sized cloves of garlic, smashed, sliced & slivered/cubed

Sometimes (but not often) I add a pinch of dried chillies

Directions

Find a generous platter with highish sides. Oil it with a good olive oil, then spread over its bottom, in the order listed above, each of the ingredients.

Then pour in ever-widening circles over entire area about 1-1/2 cups olive oil (the recipe calls for that; I usually use a lot less, more like 1/2 cup)

Cover platter with plastic wrap and let it sit for at least 3 hours at room temperature or longer (even overnight) in refrigerator. Let it warm up a bit before serving if you refrigerate. Serve it with crackers.

Note: I usually make a 1/2 recipe - 1 lb is a LOT of goat!
