Marinert Edamerost

Marinert Edamerost is a traditional dish that's commonly served as an appetizer. It consists of Edam cheese that's marinated in a combination of olive oil, strips of red peppers, white wine vinegar, thyme, oregano, green peppercorns, and garlic cloves. The cheese is diced into the size of sugar cubes and pricked with a fork so that the marinade can be absorbed more easily. The marinade ingredients are mixed in a pot and brought to a boil, then left to cool. The cubes of cheese and strips of red pepper are layered in a jar, then covered with the marinade, chilled, and left for a few weeks in the fridge. Marinert Edamerost is served at room temperature, usually with crackers or dark bread.
