HUNGARIAN CHEESE SPREAD (LIPTAUER)



Hungarian Cheese Spread (Liptauer) image

I remember having something very similar to this as an appetizer at a party. When I asked for the recipe I was told that it was a family recipe from Hungaria and she just dumps it all in. I then decided to research it and this is what I have come up with. It is combination of several different recipes that I came across until I came up with the taste I remembered.

Yield 4 Cups

18 ounces cream cheese
2 1/4 cups cottage cheese
4 -5 tablespoons capers
8 cornichons, chopped
3 teaspoons paprika
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper

2 teaspoons French mustard
1 -2 tablespoon vegetable oil

Place it in the refrigerator to set.
  • When it has become cold enough to turn out - a few hours should do it - unwrap the folded-over plastic wrap on top, place a plate over the now uncovered bowl, turn it over, and unmold. Pull the plastic wrap off and drizzle over a rust-red ooze made by mixing the oil with the paprika.
  • Serve this with bread or poppy-seed bagels, gherkins, and, if you like, some chopped red onions.

LIPTAUER (SAVORY PAPRIKA CREAM CHEESE SPREAD)



Liptauer (Savory Paprika Cream Cheese Spread) image

Liptauer spread is based on a soft sheep's milk cheese called bryndza in the Slovak language. The dish probably came from the Province of Liptov, in the Tatra Mountains, within the old Austro-Hungarian Empire and was first made by sheep farmers. As Liptauer, it has traveled to neighboring regions of central Europe, including Germany, Austria, Italy, Serbia, Slovakia and Hungary.

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon cream cheese
1 cup soft farmer cheese or 2/3 cup full-fat Greek yogurt (and 1/3 cup whipped cream cheese mixed in)
1/3 onion, peeled
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 teaspoon water
1/3 cup german pickles (optionally combine equal amounts dill and bread and butter pickles) or 1/3 cup cornichon (optionally combine equal amounts dill and bread and butter pickles)
1 1/2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon hot German mustard or 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional) or 3/4 teaspoon anchovy, finely minced (optional)
1 teaspoon tomato paste

1 pinch dill (garnish)
1 pinch chives, chopped (garnish)
salt and black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whip the butter, cream cheese, and quark (or its substitute). Make sure the butter is soft to avoid unpleasant chunks.
  • Add the water, onion, garlic, and 1 tbsp of the butter-cheese mixture to a blender and puree.
  • Pour the onion-garlic puree into the bowl with the cheeses and mix well.
  • Mix in the remaining ingredients and combine well. Season with salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. If you used unsalted butter, salt liberally.
  • Garnish with chopped chives and dill and serve with soft pretzels, celery sticks, crackers, or toasted German rye bread. It can also be used to stuff tomatoes, red peppers and hard boiled eggs.
  • Liptauer tastes best when made the day before so the flavors have a chance to mingle.
