I love to eat, going out to eat and cooking. As much as I go out to New York's finest restaurants and prepare recipes from the finest chefs, I still find myself yearning for the home cooking that I grew up with. When I say home cooking I am talking about my grannie's cooking. My grannie has been cooking and baking since she was a teenager (over 60 years) in the former Soviet Union.
The purpose of these posting will be to share and record my favorite recipes from my grannie's arsenal of European delicacies. If you too, are a food enthusiast, these recipes will blow your mind with their great taste and simplicity.
My first recipe is for a garlic cheese spread appetizer (bey-la-chka) that is quick and easy to make and will be an instant favorite and staple for any occassion.
garlic cheese spread
Ingredients
1 lb block muenster cheese
Mayonaise
Sour cream
3 cloves garlic
salt/ blk pepper
plum tomatoe
parsley
Remove orange skin from cheese - finely grate the Muenster cheese adding in 3 cloves of minced garlic. If available use a meat grinder instead of cheese grater, a lot less work and final consistency will come out smoother. Add 2 tablespoons mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon sour cream. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until smooth consistency.
Can be served on crackers or with vegetables. I have spread onto mini bread toast with a slice of plum tomato and pinch of parsley.
In my next posting look forward to a quick and easy salad/side dish made from carrots.
Until next time - keep on cooking
