Ingredienser

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 garlic cloves, (thinly sliced)

3 Tbsp chopped parsley

1 Tbsp chopped basil

1 Tbsp chopped thyme

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (more if you like spice)

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

8 oz. mozzarella balls (I like ciliegine, but you can also use pearls or bocconcini, drained)

Fremgangsmåte

In a large bowl, mix together olive oil with garlic, herbs, and spices.

Add drained mozzarella balls and stir to coat well. Keep in bowl or transfer to a jar. Let mozzarella marinate for at least an hour at room temperature before serving.

If you're making more than an hour in advance, store in fridge. Olive oil will likely solidify, so be sure to remove from fridge about 20 minutes before serving and give the mozzarella balls a good stir.

When stored in an airtight container in your fridge, marinated mozzarella balls should keep fresh for about a week.
