  • Preparation: 20 min
  • Cooking: 15 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (197 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free, Low carb
  • Contains: dairy

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

  1. 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.
  2. Push the cheese through a sieve or blend briefly so it is completely smooth.
  3. Melt the butter with the milk in a small, heavy pan over low heat, then stir in the cheese.
  4. 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.
  5. Pour into a small dish and serve warm as a spread with boiled potatoes or bread.
