Description

A classic, quick, and very Polish cottage cheese spread with chives and radishes — a light paste for breakfast, dinner, or as a side for grilled dishes. The base is fresh cottage cheese, combined with thick sour cream, crunchy radishes, and aromatic chives. The dish has a fresh taste, slightly spicy from the radishes and green from the herbs, perfectly served with dark bread or rustic rolls. Preparation takes just a few minutes, the ingredients are easily available in Polish stores, and the consistency and seasoning can be easily adjusted to personal preferences.

Preparation steps

1

Wash the radishes under cold water, trim the leaves and ends. Place the radishes on a cutting board and slice them into thin rounds or small cubes (thickness of the slices about 2-3 mm). This cutting method will ensure crunchiness in the cottage cheese.

Ingredients: Radish
Use a sharp kitchen knife and a cutting board. If you don't like staining your hands with radish juice, use disposable gloves. Cutting should take about 3-4 minutes for 150 g of radishes.
2

Wash the chives, dry them with a paper towel, and chop them very finely (into strips about 5 mm long). The fine cutting allows the chives to evenly distribute their flavor in the cottage cheese.

Ingredients: Chives
Use a sharp chef's knife or herb knife and a small bowl to collect the chopped chives. Drying the chives will prevent the paste from becoming watery.
3

Place the cottage cheese in a large bowl. Crumble the cottage cheese with a fork or potato masher until there are no large lumps visible and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

Ingredients: Cottage cheese
Use a wide, flat bowl and a fork or a manual masher; blending with a blender will make the cottage cheese too smooth and lose its texture. Mashing should take 1-2 minutes, the mixture should be smooth but still slightly grainy.
4

Add the cream to the cottage cheese with a spoon — first half of the portion, mix vigorously with a fork and check the consistency. If the mixture is too thick, add the rest of the cream. Season with salt and pepper, gently mixing until you achieve a creamy but not runny consistency.

Ingredients: Cottage cheese, Sour cream, Salt, Black pepper
Use a wooden spoon or fork. Gradually add the cream; the goal is a creamy paste that holds its shape. Mix for 1-2 minutes and check the taste — a well-seasoned cheese should be slightly tangy, but not salty.
5

Add the chopped radish and chopped chives to the mixture. Gently stir with a spoon to evenly distribute the vegetables in the cottage cheese. Taste and season with an additional pinch of salt or pepper if needed.

Ingredients: Radish, Chives, Cottage cheese
Gently mix for 30-40 seconds to avoid crushing the radishes too much — they should remain crunchy. Additionally, you can add a bit of butter (optional) on some plates for a milder flavor.
6

Transfer the cottage cheese to a small bowl or onto a board. Serve immediately with dark bread, country bread, or as a side dish with young potatoes. If preparing in advance, chill in the refrigerator before serving (about 30 minutes).

Ingredients: Cottage cheese, Radish, Chives
It is best served in a wide, flat bowl, garnished with a few snips of chives and a slice of radish. Use a plate with a diameter of 24 cm for serving snacks. Do not leave the cottage cheese at room temperature for long (more than 2 hours).

Fun Fact

💡

Cottage cheese is one of the oldest forms of dairy products in Polish cuisine; it was common in villages as a quick source of protein and an addition to bread even before the spread of aged cheese.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve chilled with rye bread, dark rolls, or as a side to young potatoes with dill. For a bolder flavor, you can serve pickled cucumbers or slices of radish alongside. For a party, spread the cheese in bowls and prepare a platter with bread and vegetables next to it.

🥡 Storage

Store in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Before serving, take it out for 10-15 minutes so it is not too cold. Do not freeze the cottage cheese — once thawed, it loses its structure and becomes watery.
