Liptauer cheese spread (Körözött)

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Starters
Körözött (or Liptauer) is the cornerstone of Hungarian 'finger food'. Its Hungarian name comes from the verb 'körözni' (to circle/mix), as ingredients used to be mixed until a completely uniform, foamy cream was achieved. In a good Körözött, the softness of butter, acidity of curd cheese, pungency of onion, and aroma of caraway meet.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mash the curd cheese with a fork. Cream the butter until frothy with the spices (paprika, caraway, salt, pepper, mustard).

Tip: Mix spices into the fat (butter) first because that's where flavour compounds dissolve best (fat-soluble aromas).
2 ✓

Chop the onion very finely, almost to a pulp.

Tip: You can salt the chopped onion for 5 minutes to soften it and lose some of its raw bite.
3 ✓

Mix the spiced butter, curd cheese, onion, and sour cream. Work until uniform with an orangey colour.

Tip: Let stand in the fridge for 1-2 hours before serving to let flavours meld (diffusion).

Recipe FAQ

What onion should I use?
