Place the mozzarella balls in a sieve and drain well. Meanwhile, peel the garlic and score the chili pepper lengthwise with a knife. Wash the lemon and use a vegetable peeler to peel three thin strips of zest. Pat the mozzarella balls dry. Layer the mozzarella balls alternately with the garlic, chili, lemon zest, thyme, and rosemary in a clean 400 ml jar. Fill with oil so that the mozzarella balls are completely covered. Marinate the mozzarella balls for at least a day. They will keep in the refrigerator for about a week.
