24 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into bite size pieces
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
1-1/2 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp salt (or more, to taste)
½ tsp ground pepper
1 cup olive oil
Directions
Place mozzarella in medium sized bowl.
In a separate, smaller bowl, combine olive oil, parsley, garlic, peppers, salt. Whisk to combine.
Pour seasoned oil over mozzarella, and toss gently to coat.
Spoon the cheese and marinade into a large mason jar.
Allow cheese to marinate in the jar at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Serve immediately or seal and place in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. (To serve post-refrigeration, let your jar of cheese sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.)
Enjoy, with crackers!
