Step 1

Put the almonds, lemon juice, olive oil and salt in a high-powered blender or food processor. The almonds can be soaked for a few hours before blending, to soften them. Add 1/2 cup water and blend together for about 5 minutes, until smooth.

Step 2

Place the mixture in a nut bag. Place your hands at the top of the bag, above the mixture, squeeze together tightly, then secure the bag with an elastic band. Place in a colander, setting it over a bowl so any excess liquid can drain into the bowl. Refrigerate overnight.

Step 3

The next day, carefully remove the 'almond feta' from the nut bag. Discard the drained water. Put the feta in a small square container. Press it down so that it takes on the square shape, and place it back in the fridge for about 30 minutes to set.

Step 4

Mix the marinade ingredients together really well. Season to taste with salt, then pour into a shallow serving bowl.

Step 5

Carefully turn the feta out onto a chopping board and cut it into small squares. It is super soft like Persian feta, so it breaks easily. Place the squares into the marinade and serve.
