These taste delicious, but the presentation makes them really great. A wonderful little appetizer.

these flavors are delicious together and they look so elegant on the skewer

super easy - toughest part is getting the feta block on without breaking it

Using the "packaged" Feta (shrink-wrapped is better. Make sure your oranges are "sweet", because more than likely if the pulp isn't sweet, the zest will be a little more bitter than the norm. I bought my oranges a week ahead of time and let them sit on the table until use. Whole Foods sells 6" skewers that work will for an skewering. And worked great for these. Some of the skewers I wrapped the mint leaves around the Feta. I know that wasn't the order to make the skewers, but it helped with the crumbling problem. I had a little place card next to these to advise the eater to "eat the whole skewer all at once", to get all the affects of the flavor. Also a great "after dinner" dish, the fresh mint is great breath/palate refresher. Everyone who had these enjoyed them.

The combination of flavors was really nice in the marinade, except for the orange zest. To us, it added too much bitterness.
We used toothpicks instead of skewers, because the feta crumbled easily. The mini-skewers were messy to eat. Overall, hubby liked it enough to want them again, and suggested using a cheddar or chevre.

Totally awesome and a big hit with friends. One juicy orange was perfect for both zest and juice. Second time, I used toothpicks. Skewers were too big. I also like to experiment with marinated olives from the deli, but stick with green olives. I cracked the pepper in a mortar & pestle and then crushed the fennel a bit, too, for a really nice, coarse texture.

The Feta needs to be fresh, some delis sell it in brine, and it is too soft. If you feel the package, it should feel slightly firm, the older it is the more crumbly it becomes. Crumbly is great for Greek Salad......

I marinated the feta overnight and that was a bit too long. In addition, it was very difficult to skewer the feta. it kept breaking in half.

Made this at a summer cocktail party and people raved. They're not something you could eat a lot of but terrific to pick on.
