Categories     Appetizers

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounce package goat cheese (room temperature)
ΒΌ cup fresh dill fronds (plus more for garnishing)
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 small garlic clove (finely grated with a microplane)
1 large pinch red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
pinch of kosher salt
freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients in a mini food processor. Pulse until just whipped and blended (and the herbs are well-distributed in small, even pieces), scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice if needed. Transfer the goat cheese spread to a serving bowl (I like to place it off-center, as seen in the photos above), using the back of a large spoon to create a divet and swoosh.
  • Just before serving, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and garnish with several dill fronds. This goat cheese spread is best served right away, but can be prepared in advance and stores well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Store in a container with a tight-fitting lid.
  • If you do not have a mini food processor or don't wish to use one: before proceeding, finely chop the herbs (it is especially important for the goat cheese to be at room temperature if mixing by hand) and mix everything together with a spoon or spatula until well incorporated. *I prefer to use a mini food processor, because it is quick, fast, and incorporates a little air into the goat cheese, creating a slightly whipped, lighter texture.

HERBED GOAT CHEESE

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     appetizer

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.

CREAMY GOAT CHEESE AND CUCUMBER SANDWICH



Creamy Goat Cheese and Cucumber Sandwich image

A creamy goat cheese and cottage cheese blend provides satisfying and comforting flavor. I use sumac to bump up the already satisfying and comforting flavor of the creamy goat cheese and cottage cheese blend that blankets cucumbers, celery and dill. My first choice for bread is pumpernickel, but black bread or whole wheat country bread are also good.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy, lunch, quick, sandwiches, main course

Time 10m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ounce goat cheese
1/4 cup (1 ounce) low-fat cottage cheese
1/2 tablespoon plain low-fat yogurt (more if needed)
1/4 teaspoon sumac (to taste)
2 slices pumpernickel, black bread or whole wheat country bread
Chopped fresh dill
1/2 tender celery stick from the heart, sliced very thin on the diagonal
1/2 Persian cucumber or 1/4 European cucumber, sliced very thin on the diagonal
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 walnut halves (1 1/2 whole walnuts), finely chopped

Steps:

  • In a mini-processor (or if multiplying the recipe, in a food processor fitted with the steel blade), blend together the goat cheese, cottage cheese and yogurt until smooth. Add the sumac and mix together.
  • Spread half the cheese mixture on one slice of the bread. Sprinkle with dill. Top with a layer of thinly sliced celery. Top the celery with a layer of cucumber slices. Season if desired with salt and pepper and sprinkle on more dill. Spread the remaining cheese over the top slice of bread and sprinkle the walnuts over the cream so that they stick. Reverse the top slice onto the cucumber layer, press the sandwich gently (not too hard or the cream will ooze out), cut in half and serve.
