What You’ll Need
To get started, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 16 ounces of drained bocconcini (fresh mozzarella balls packed in water)
- 1/2 cup of extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons of finely chopped capers
- 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
- 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1 medium garlic clove, thinly sliced

- 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
Preparation is Key
Toss all of the ingredients together in a large bowl until the mozzarella is well coated. Then, refrigerate in an airtight container and let marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the cheese to absorb all of the deliciousness.
Serving Suggestions
When you’re ready to serve, bring the marinated mozzarella to room temperature and pair it with some crusty bread, cured meats, and a few Anchovy-Marinated Olives or Marinated Mushrooms for a satisfying snack.
