Marinated Mozzarella.

The uses of Mozzarella.
It is a very versatile cheese. Grated, it can be added to pizza or to lasagna. If you roll the cheese into little cigar shapes while it is warm (in the satiny state) it will turn into string cheese. It can be eaten by itself because it is a mild cheese.

My favorite, the marinated mozzarella.
My wife and I stopped at the Central Market in Ft Worth to get cheese for comparisons and found the marinated mozzarella. It was so good, we decided to make some ourselves. Here is the recipe.

1 lb cubed mozzarella, cubed about 3/4 in a side.
1 tbsp chopped parsley
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp minced chives
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/3 cup olive oil

Put all in a plastic bag and seal. Turn ingredients to coat the cheese. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. For later use allow olive oil to liquefy in air.

This is spicy. You can cut down the pepper flakes and even add curry powder.
