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
- 0 bread or crackers (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Peel and finely chop the onion into small, even pieces. Add the chopped onion to the bowl with the cottage cheese.
Step 3
Finely chop the fresh chives and parsley. Reserve a small amount for garnish, if desired, and add the rest to the mixing bowl.
Step 4
Sprinkle the paprika powder, caraway seeds, salt, and black pepper into the mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Step 5
Add the lemon juice and sour cream to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the cottage cheese mixture becomes creamy and well-incorporated.
Step 6
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Step 7
Transfer the prepared cottage cheese mixture to a serving dish. Garnish with the reserved chives and parsley for a decorative touch.
Step 8
Serve immediately with fresh bread, crackers, or as a side dish. Refrigerate any leftovers in a sealed container for up to 2 days.
