Fresh, ripe mozzarella in a pouch with whey is so wonderfully creamy and tangy, you can enjoy it on its own. However, it has a short shelf life. This recipe for marinated mozzarella uses the harder variety of mozz, which lasts longer. As a result, you can infuse it with herby, spicy flavors using our easy-to-prepare marinade.<\/p>\n
Marinated mozzarella is always a popular appetizer. It looks sophisticated and tastes indulgent. If you have more than one gathering coming up, or you\u2019re expecting a succession of guests over the holiday season, you can even make a jarful and keep it in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, crush red pepper, basil, chives and garlic powder. Stir to mix, add the cheese cubes, then stir again to coat the cheese evenly. Cover the dish and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Allow the marinated mozzarella to come back to room temperature before serving, as this will make the oil smoother and revive the aromas and flavors.<\/p>\n Particularly if you\u2019re using the jar variation above, you can refrigerate any leftover marinated mozzarella for up to five days. Just be aware that the oil will become more viscous when it’s cold, and the flavors will dull.<\/p>\n A marinated mozzarella recipe like this one will always benefit from extra time to let those flavors, well, marinate. Make it the night before and leave it to sit in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n These cheese cubes are great for adding to an antipasto platter of ham, salami and olives. You can also enjoy them with crusty bread, crackers or bruschetta\u2014or simply grab a toothpick and gobble them one by one.<\/p>\n If your grocery store has the hard, low-moisture mozzarella typically sold in the U.S., that\u2019s the one this recipe is designed for. If you want to make a version to share straight away, you can try a creamy fresh mozzarella in whey. Make sure it\u2019s not too ripe, though, or it will fall apart in the marinade.<\/p>\n The choice of mozzarella is based on the fact that it\u2019s a light but creamy cheese. You could marinate other hard cheeses, such as provolone, Gouda, edam or even cheddar. You could also try a crumbly cheese like feta, but after just a few bites, their heaviness might slow your progress!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I always come home with an empty container when I bring this dish to a party.
