Method

Preheat oven to 200 Celcius (if you wish to heat bread to crunchy)

Drain the olives, place onto cutting board. Lightly smash with the heel of your hand just to break apart the skin and flatten slightly.

Smash the garlic cloves and peel.

Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from 1 lemon in long, wide strips.

Cook the lemon peel, olives, garlic, olive oil, and red pepper chilli flakes in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, swirling occasionally, until garlic is sizzling and golden around the edges, 5-7 minutes.

Crumble feta into shallow serving bowl.

Pour oil mixture over feta. Let sit at least 10 minutes, up to an hour.

If you prefer heated bread, tear bread into large serving pieces and place in oven directly onto rack. Bake until edges are golden, 5-8 minutes. Serve with marinated feta and olives for dipping.
