Method
Preparation
- 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
Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
- 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
- 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.
- 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.

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.
