LIPTAUER (SAVORY PAPRIKA CREAM CHEESE SPREAD)



Liptauer (Savory Paprika Cream Cheese Spread) image

Liptauer spread is based on a soft sheep's milk cheese called bryndza in the Slovak language. The dish probably came from the Province of Liptov, in the Tatra Mountains, within the old Austro-Hungarian Empire and was first made by sheep farmers. As Liptauer, it has traveled to neighboring regions of central Europe, including Germany, Austria, Italy, Serbia, Slovakia and Hungary.

Time 10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon cream cheese
1 cup soft farmer cheese or 2/3 cup full-fat Greek yogurt (and 1/3 cup whipped cream cheese mixed in)
1/3 onion, peeled
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 teaspoon water
1/3 cup german pickles (optionally combine equal amounts dill and bread and butter pickles) or 1/3 cup cornichon (optionally combine equal amounts dill and bread and butter pickles)
1 1/2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon hot German mustard or 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional) or 3/4 teaspoon anchovy, finely minced (optional)
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon capers, chopped (add 2 tsp caper if anchovy is not added)
1 teaspoon fresh chives, chopped
1 teaspoon caraway seed
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pinch dill (garnish)
1 pinch chives, chopped (garnish)
salt and black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whip the butter, cream cheese, and quark (or its substitute). Make sure the butter is soft to avoid unpleasant chunks.
  • Add the water, onion, garlic, and 1 tbsp of the butter-cheese mixture to a blender and puree.
  • Pour the onion-garlic puree into the bowl with the cheeses and mix well.
  • Mix in the remaining ingredients and combine well. Season with salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. If you used unsalted butter, salt liberally.
  • Garnish with chopped chives and dill and serve with soft pretzels, celery sticks, crackers, or toasted German rye bread. It can also be used to stuff tomatoes, red peppers and hard boiled eggs.
  • Liptauer tastes best when made the day before so the flavors have a chance to mingle.

Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

18 ounces cream cheese
2 1/4 cups cottage cheese
4 to 5 tablespoons capers
8 cornichons, chopped
3 teaspoons paprika
Pinch of salt
Good grating of black pepper
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
2 teaspoons French mustard
1 to 2 tablespoons flavorless vegetable oil
Fat pinch of paprika

Steps:

  • 1. Beat the cream cheese and cottage cheese together until they are very smooth. Add the capers, cornichons, paprika, salt, pepper, caraway seeds, and mustard. Mix together well and turn into a 1-quart bowl lined with plastic wrap for easier unmolding later. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover with the overhanging plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator to set.
  • 2. When it has become cold enough to turn out - a few hours should do it - unwrap the folded-over plastic wrap on top, place a plate over the now uncovered bowl, turn it over, and unmold. Pull the plastic wrap off and drizzle over a rust-red ooze made by mixing the oil with the paprika.
  • **3.**Serve this with bread or poppy-seed bagels, gherkins, and, if you like, some chopped red onions.

Tips:

  • For a smoother spread, use a food processor to blend the ingredients until creamy.
  • If you don't have caraway seeds, you can substitute with cumin or fennel seeds.
  • To make a vegetarian version of the spread, omit the anchovies and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Serve the spread with crackers, bread, or vegetables.
  • For a party appetizer, spread the mixture on top of cucumber slices or cherry tomatoes.

Conclusion:

Liptauer is a delicious and versatile spread that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or light meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a classic recipe or something a little more unique, there is sure to be a Liptauer recipe that you will love.
