Liptauer Cheese Spread

Makes 1 generous cup (240 mL)

When I was in my early twenties, my friend Sandy lived in the apartment below me. She threw great parties and always cooked Slavic food. More often than not, her Liptauer cheese spread was on the table.

Ingredients

½ lb. (225 g) cream cheese
4 Tbsp. (60 mL) mashed feta cheese
2 heaping Tbsp. (30 mL) sour cream or yogurt
1 small garlic clove, finely grated, about ¼ tsp. (1.2 mL)
1 tsp. (5 mL) finely grated onion
½ tsp. (2.5 mL) hot paprika
1½ tsp. (7.5 mL) sweet paprika
2 Tbsp. (30 mL) minced fresh Italian parsley
1 baguette, sliced or Baguette Flatbread (see recipe)
1 to 2 bunches fresh radishes, cleaned



Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, feta, and sour cream or yogurt together. Add the garlic, onion, hot and sweet paprika, and parsley; incorporate thoroughly.

Spoon into a serving bowl, cover, and store in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

When ready to eat, return to room temperature and serve with baguette slices and fresh radishes.

Cook's Tip
Go gently with the garlic-its flavour becomes very pronounced during the 24 hours in the refrigerator.

Ground paprika can be sweet, bittersweet or hot depending on the heat of the peppers and the amount of seeds and veins ground into the powder.
