This unusual cheese spread will prove to be good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Ingredients:
3 lbs large-curd cottage cheese, drained in cheesecloth overnight
2 lbs cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup yellow onion, peeled and diced (1/4-inch dice)
1 teaspoon caraway seed, ground in a spice ginger
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons hungarian paprika
salt (optional)
Directions:
1. Place some cheesecloth in a large colander and pour in the cottage cheese.
2. Tie up the ends of the cloth so that you have a bag you can hang over a bowl overnight. You want to drain the whey from cheese.
3. The next morning, mix all ingredients except the cottage cheese, paprika, and optional salt.
4. Mix well and then fold in the paprika and cottage cheese. Do this gently, as you want the spread to have some texture.
5. Taste for salt and add if desired.
