CHEESE SPREAD OR DIP
This makes about 2 cups - you can cut the quantities in half.
8 ounces cottage cheese
1 stick of unsalted butter at room temperature
1 Tablespoon sweet Hungarian paprika
Ground pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
1 teaspoon dry mustard (ok to substitute 2 teaspoons Dijon)
1 teaspoon drained chopped capers
1 Tablespoon finely chopped onions
1/2 cup sour creme (add 1/4 cup more if you want a dip)
3 Tablespoon chopped chives or the green ends of scallions
Place the cottage cheese and softened butter in a medium bowl and mix together with a wooden spoon or mixer (you can also toss everything into a Cuisinart)
Add the remaining ingredients and mix well, adding the extra sour creme if you want a dip. Refrigerate and decorate with the chives. Serve with crackers
About Me
- JB
- My interest in food started with "Heidi" and her grandfather..."He went to the fireplace...kindled a bright fire. Almost immediately the kettle began to boil, and the old man held over the fire a large piece of cheese on the end of a long iron fork. He moved it this way and that, until it was golden yellow on all sides." In my family we roasted marshmallows - not cheese and so, I began to think of new things... And when it comes to travel - I like to go anywhere! Always have.
