Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cherry Peppers

    Rinse the cherry peppers under cold water and remove the stems. If you'd like a milder flavor, you can slice them in half and remove the seeds.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and fresh basil leaves. Stir well to combine.

Marinating

  1. 4

    Combine Peppers and Marinade

    Place the prepared cherry peppers in a large jar or container. Pour the marinade over the peppers, ensuring they are fully submerged. If using feta cheese, crumble it on top of the peppers.

  2. 5

    Seal and Refrigerate

    Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, let them marinate for 3-5 days.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Cherry Peppers

    After marinating, serve the cherry peppers as a flavorful appetizer or side dish. They can be enjoyed straight from the jar or used to enhance salads, sandwiches, or antipasto platters.
