Cottage cheese with herbs and garlic - general principles of preparation

• Cottage cheese with herbs and garlic – a homogeneous, slightly spicy curd mass. To bring its main components to the required, uniform state, you may need a blender (immersion or with a bowl). In the absence of this kitchen processor, you can take the most ordinary meat grinder with a very fine grid or a rare metal sieve.

• In most cases, such a dish is not subjected to any heat treatment, an exception may be the use of curd mass to fill pies fried in a frying pan. Therefore, all products for cooking should be taken only when fresh.

• Cottage cheese is the basis of such a dish. Its consistency, graininess and fat content do not play a special role. Everyone can choose the one they prefer. But it should be noted that the fattier the cottage cheese, the easier it is to stir and the easier it will be to spread the mixture on bread or vegetables. Therefore, sour cream or mayonnaise is added to low-fat, and low-fat for a dietary dish is blended with a blender.

• You can add any greens - dill, parsley, cilantro, mint, basil, etc. It all depends on the type of dish being prepared and personal preferences. It is not advisable to add green onions - the dish may taste bitter.

• The homogeneous curd mass is adjusted to the desired taste by adding salt and seasoning with black pepper.

• Cottage cheese with herbs and garlic can also be served as an independent dish. This mass is spread on slices of bread, crispbread, fresh or fried vegetables (zucchini). With it you can make Turkish unleavened pies from thin pita bread. It is also perfect for stuffing fresh vegetables (tomatoes) or filling holiday profiteroles. It’s very simple and quite easy to prepare a festive appetizer roll with tomato pieces inside.

Lazy dumplings

Mix a pack of cottage cheese with an egg and flour - that's all! If desired, you can add salt or sugar to the dumplings. While you prepare the dough, bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Cut the dumplings into arbitrary cubes and throw them into boiling water. A few minutes and dinner is on the table. Please note that the dumplings will double in size from the heat, so cut into small cubes. Serve dumplings with butter and sugar, sour cream or berries.

Cottage cheese with garlic and herbs

Ingredients:

300 grams of homemade cottage cheese;
55 grams of softened butter;
4 sprigs of young dill;
3 sprigs of young parsley or cilantro;
1 green onion;
1 large clove of garlic;
2 pinches of ground black pepper;
salt to taste.

I don’t specifically indicate the amount of salt - everyone has their own preferences, we don’t add so much salt, but we add more pepper. You can adjust the amount of salt and spices to suit your taste.

Preparation:

Soften the butter in advance - first at room temperature, then additionally in the microwave or in a warm place. It should melt before your eyes, but not be melted. This is the main secret. To prepare a snack, rub homemade cottage cheese through a sieve to give the product a creamy structure. Add butter and stir.

Peel the garlic clove and grate it on a fine grater. Wash the greens, shake well, place on a napkin for additional drying. After that, chop it finely - as finely as you can. Moreover, use only the green leaves and discard the stems. Mix the chopped green ingredient, grated garlic, cottage cheese with butter and salt and ground pepper. Mix thoroughly. The mass should become airy and almost homogeneous. Only after this is it ready for use, and I advise you to additionally keep the “curd paste” in the refrigerator. At least 15 minutes.

Sometimes there is absolutely no time to bother with rubbing the cottage cheese and preparing the butter. In these cases, I use a quick cooking method.
