This appetizer comes out of the 500 ALL-TIME GREAT RECIPES cookbook, recently sent to me by my partner in the current Cookbook Swap! Preparation time does not include the time needed to chill the balls before serving.
Ingredients:
1 cup low-fat cheese (such as quark)
1/2 cup dolcelatte (a cheese)
1 tablespoon onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon celery, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon gherkin, finely chopped
1 teaspoon brandy (optional)
1 pinch paprika
6 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper
Directions:
1. Beat soft cheese & dolcelatte together using a spoon, until smooth.
2. Mix in all remaining ingredients, except chopped walnuts, stirring well to combine.
3. Divide mixture into as few as 12 pieces or as many as 24, depending on the side of balls you would like to serve.
4. Roll each piece into balls, then roll each ball gently into chopped walnuts.
5. Chill in refrigerator at least 1 hour before serving.
