Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g cottage cheese
- 1 small onion
- 2 tbsp fresh chives
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tsp paprika powder
- 1 tsp caraway seeds
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- bread or crackers (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place the cottage cheese in a medium-sized mixing bowl. If the texture is too chunky for your preference, use a fork or a whisk to break it up slightly for a smoother consistency.
Peel and finely chop the onion into small, even pieces. Add the chopped onion to the bowl with the cottage cheese.
Finely chop the fresh chives and parsley. Reserve a small amount for garnish, if desired, and add the rest to the mixing bowl.
Sprinkle the paprika powder, caraway seeds, salt, and black pepper into the mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Add the lemon juice and sour cream to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the cottage cheese mixture becomes creamy and well-incorporated.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Transfer the prepared cottage cheese mixture to a serving dish. Garnish with the reserved chives and parsley for a decorative touch.
Serve immediately with fresh bread, crackers, or as a side dish. Refrigerate any leftovers in a sealed container for up to 2 days.
