Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Olives

    In a bowl, combine the Aegean olives with half of the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the olives well, and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Spicy Pickled Peppers

    If using whole Turkish peppers, slice them open lengthwise and remove the seeds if desired. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Slice the Cheese

    Cut the Kefalograviera cheese into small wedges or cubes for serving.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving platter, arrange the marinated olives, spicy pickled Turkish peppers, and slices of Kefalograviera cheese. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired and serve.
