1 teaspoon whole allspice
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
4 garlic cloves
3 strips lemon zest
black pepper
sea salt to taste
1 sprig fresh oregano
1 sprig fresh rosemary
8 ounces soft cheese broken into pieces (such as goat, fresh mozzarella, or crumbled feta)
Place olive oil in a small saucepan. Crush allspice and coriander with the side of a large knife until all seeds are broken. Add to olive oil. Trim the ends of the garlic cloves and smash with the side of a knife. Peel away paper and add to the oil. Add the next six ingredients and bring the oil to a simmer. Simmer on low heat for 20 – 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour over cheese and stir. Allow flavors to blend before serving. Serve with toasted baguette slices or savory crackers.
