Cheese spread with slaw

The softness of the cottage cheese and the distinct taste of niva complement each other perfectly in this spread.

• butter approx. 50 g

1. Mix cottage cheese and butter in a bowl, if necessary, use whisks.
2. Add pre-grated fennel and finely chopped onion.
3. Stir in the crushed clove of garlic.

We serve it on favorite pastries, we can decorate it with vegetables (cherry tomatoes, pickled cucumbers) or walnuts.

The amount of ingredients depends on our preference – whether we want a more vegetable or cheese salad.

METHOD

1. In order to speed up the preparation itself, we will first process the ingredients that need heat treatment.
2. Fry the diced bread in butter. Fry for as long as you like to get crispy. We can also add garlic cut into thin strips to the pan.
3. As soon as we are done, let it cool down while we prepare the other ingredients. Cut the tomatoes and red onion into small pieces, mix and season with salt and pepper.
4. Let’s turn our attention to the ermines. We separate the creamy part from the mold, which we mix with the selected herbs in a bowl.
5. Add arugula and nuts only when serving.

We serve everything together on one plate – chopped vegetables and fresh arugula, ermine paste (can be divided into smaller pieces with a spoon), sprinkled with walnuts and drizzled with olive oil and balsamic.
