Curd cream with spicy herbs

4 servings

5 minutes

Cottage cheese cream with spicy herbs is a delicate and aromatic dish that perfectly complements appetizers and dishes of Russian cuisine. Based on dry cottage cheese, this cream achieves an airy consistency thanks to the cream, while fresh herbs – cilantro, parsley, dill, and basil – give it a bright, rich flavor with a hint of spice. Historically, such creams were used in Russian gastronomy as light spreads for bread or as an accompaniment to meat and vegetables. This cream is versatile: it can be served on sandwiches, used as a dip for vegetables or as a sauce for dishes. Thanks to the freshness of the herbs and creamy texture, it perfectly combines softness and spiciness. It is prepared in just a few minutes: simply blend all the ingredients until smooth – and enjoy!
