She's been making this cheese roll for over forty years, Maria 'la Gorda' gave it to her after she had eaten it at her house and loved it.. veryvery much!
Maria had a herd of goaty folk and used their milk to make the cheese for this recipe but you can make it using very soft goats' cheese, unless, of course, you have access to goats' milk like we do.
Here's what you need:
8oz of very soft goats' cheese.
1 clove of crushed garlic.
1 tbsp. of finely grated & chopped white onion.
1 tspn. of dried dill.
1 tspn. of dried tarragon.
OPTIONAL.. 4 drops of hot chilli pepper sauce.
A pinch of ground sea salt.
2 tbsp. of Hungarian paprika.
A good sized mixing bowl.
Another deep bowl.
Tin foil or greaseproof paper.
Here's how to make it:
Combine cheese, garlic, seasonings, salt.
And hot chilli pepper sauce if you want.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Shape cheese into a ball
Place cheese ball into deep bowl.
Cover bowl with cling film.
Place into fridge and chill for at least 1 day.
Remove from fridge 1 hour before serving.
Roll in paprika to coat ball completely.
Maria used to make her own very morish and crisp crackers, sadly she lost the recipe years ago and as both Maria and Constance are both 'up there', there is no one alive who would know the it.. sigh.
But you could serve it with your favourite brand of crispbread / crackers or raw vegetables and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
A packet of dried figs has just appeared so you must excuse me.. for Beaky is extremely partial to the odd dried fig so I'd better go before she eats them all.
GeeGee Parrot.
