Ingredients
- 150 g Cottage cheese
- 15 g Butter, unsalted
- 30 g Milk, whole
- 0.5 g Baking soda
- 1 g Salt
- 0.3 g Caraway seeds
Method
- If you have time, spread the cottage cheese on a plate and leave it loosely covered at room temperature for a day to ripen and turn slightly tangy; this step can be skipped for a milder result.
- Push the cheese through a sieve or blend briefly so it is completely smooth.
- Melt the butter with the milk in a small, heavy pan over low heat, then stir in the cheese.
- Add the baking soda, salt and caraway seeds, and cook gently, stirring constantly, for 8-10 minutes until the mixture turns silky, stretchy and fully melted into a smooth sauce.
- Pour into a small dish and serve warm as a spread with boiled potatoes or bread.
