Cottage cheese spread
Simply mix together the ingredients :-
100-150gm Cottage cheese (I think Ricotta cheese should be fine ,too)
165ml sour cream
3-4 Tbsp butter, room temperature
1-2 tsp sweet / spicy paprika powder
pinch of cumin, ground or whole
salt & pepper, to taste
At this point, you've already made a basic Körözöt ; however, my FIL makes it special by adding ...
Hungarian green pepper, chopped finely
1-2 hard boiled egg(s)
1-2 tsp mustard
Onion, finely chopped , to taste
cold cuts, chopped finely
Garnish with dill , parsley or paprika powder. I think a drizzle of olive oil would be nice, too :)
Note that sour cream and butter (or margerine) are crucial in this recipe ; while the rest of the additions can be to your taste.
