Goat Cheese Spread (or Dip)
Rita Silverberg, Tucson CSA member
Basic Mixture:
6 ounce log of goat cheese
8 ounce (small tub) sour cream
Enough milk (dairy, soy, rice or nut) to achieve desired consistency
Crumble the goat cheese into a blender. Add sour cream and milk, and blend.
You can make a spread for crackers, or a dip for chips.
Seasonings:
If you’ve used a seasoned goat cheese log, that may be all you need.
And/or….
Garlic – minced or powder
Onion – minced or grated
Olives – chopped, or add olive tapenade
Fresh chopped herb(s) – you name it; the sky’s the limit.
Spice(s) such as cumin or paprika.
Note: Paprika does more than add color; use enough and it adds a lovely subtle smoky flavor. I just learned this from a great cook, Warren.
