Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (6-ounce) creamy goat cheese disks, such as Coach Farm
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Minced fresh dill
Julienned fresh basil leaves
Crushed red pepper flakes
Good olive oil
Bread or crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • Find a small, wide-mouth canning jar or small glass vase (3 1/2 inches in diameter by 4 inches high), just large enough to hold the two goat cheeses on top of each other with a little room to spare. Cut each cheese in half horizontally, making 2 rounds from each. (A piece of dental floss makes this easier.)
  • Place half of the first disk flat in the jar, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then with 1/2 teaspoon dill, 1 teaspoon basil, and a few red pepper flakes, and drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Place another disk of cheese on top and repeat the seasonings, herbs, and oil. Continue with the remaining cheese disks, piling one on top of the other with oil and seasonings in between. When all the disks are stacked and seasoned, drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top. Cover and set aside at room temperature for one hour or refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Serve at room temperature with bread or crackers for people to help themselves.

Place the vegetables on the hot grill and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side until crisp-tender. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 3. Soak the sun-dried tomatoes in 1 cup hot water, covered, about 5 minutes or until softened. Drain and set aside. (Note: Eliminate this step if you are using sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil.)
  • 4. Arrange the grilled vegetables, sun-dried tomatoes, and sliced tomatoes on individual plates or a serving platter. Add a slice of chevre on the side of the vegetables. Drizzle the vegetables with the vinaigrette, and drizzle a little more vinaigrette around the place. Garnish with the parsley and basil.

CERVELLE DE CANUT (HERBED CHEESE SPREAD)



Cervelle de Canut (Herbed Cheese Spread) image

The author Bill Buford spent years in Lyon, France, researching French cuisine for his book "Dirt." He picked up this recipe from a modern Lyonnaise bouchon, Le Bouchon des Filles. The simple, savory mixture of fromage blanc with shallots, garlic and other seasonings is a mainstay in Lyon, where it often appears with the cheese course. (Or it may be the cheese course.) The name means silk worker's brain, a mysterious reference to the days when silk weaving made Lyon rich. This version is set apart by its lavish use of fresh herbs.

Time 10m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound fresh, whole-milk, full-fat fromage blanc (ideally from a farm)
1 small shallot, peeled and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herb leaves (such as dill, tarragon, chives, chervil and parsley)
1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/2 small garlic clove
3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • If using farm-fresh cheese, line a sieve with two layers of cheesecloth and place over a bowl. Add the fromage blanc and let it strain at room temperature for at least 3 to 4 hours to eliminate excess liquid.
  • Combine fromage blanc with all remaining ingredients in a food processor and blend until the shallots are finely chopped and the texture begins to resemble cottage cheese, about 30 seconds.
  • Empty into a bowl and whisk; season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve chilled; eat with a spoon or serve with baguette.

Tips:

  • For a smoother spread, blend the ingredients in a food processor or with a hand blender until creamy.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried herbs for each 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs called for in the recipe.
  • To make a vegan version of this spread, use vegan cream cheese and vegan butter.
  • This spread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Conclusion:

Herbed cottage cheese chevre spread is a delicious and versatile spread that can be used as a dip, a sandwich spread, or a topping for vegetables or crackers. It's also a great way to use up leftover cottage cheese and chevre. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a flavorful and healthy spread that the whole family will enjoy.
