1269.0. "CHEESE SPREAD?" by AKOV77::DORA () Fri Jul 15 1988 12:30

    Does anyone have a recipe for a cheese spread to be used as an
    appetizer with crackers.  I had some at a restaurant once that
    was orange with some type of seasoning in it.  I did a DIR/TITLE
    and couldn't come up with one.
    
    Thanks in advance.

1269.1i know what your talkn about!MILVAX::AQUILIAFri Jul 15 1988 12:3910
    yes, i do know what your talking about.  i read about the spread
    here in the file.  i believe the topic was appetizers or something
    like that.  we (or they i should say) determined that it is cottage
    cheese with (are you ready) ....catsup!  maybe some horseradish
    to give some zing and a few other things we also mentioned.  but,
    basically that was the recipe.  look for the file in the last few
    months.  if i can recall it was about 3 months ago that it was
    entered in here.  hope that helps,

1269.4Try this easy spreadVIDEO::LEMIRETime o'your life, eh kid?Fri Jul 15 1988 17:3821
    Here's one that has all my friends addicted:
    
    2 packages cream cheese
    1 jar "Roka Bleu" (sp?)
    1 tub cheddar spread
    1 small to medium onion, chopped (how oniony do you like?)
    1 cup chopped walnuts (give or take...do you like nuts?
    1 palmful dried parsley flakes
    1 to 4 dashes worcestershire (again, to taste)
    
    Mix together nuts and parsley.
    In a large bowl, use a potatoe masher to mix all ingredients together
    but use only HALF of the nut/parsley mixture.
    Chill the result.
    Form into 1 large or 2 small balls.  
    Roll ball(s) in remaining nut/parsley mixture.
    
    At Christmas this is nice as two balls, one with a green maraschino
    cherry on top, the other with a red.
    I prefer Weatsworth or Keebler Stone Creek (several varieties to
    choose from) crackers with this.

    This makes one large crock, or four 1 cup crocks.
    
    1 pound sharp Cheddar cheese
    1/2 cup butter, softened
    1/3 cup Red or White Port wine
    2 Tablespoons sharp prepared mustard(grey poupon)
    
    1. Shred cheese into large bowl. Bring ro room temperature.
    2. Work in butter, wine, and mustard with a wooden spoon to 
       make a very smooth mixture.
    3. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate 45 minutes, or
       until mixture firms up.
    4. Pack mixture into one large crock or four 1-cup crocks,
       dividing evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate
       until ready to serve.  Serve with crackers.
    
    This will keep up to two weeks in fridge and is best served
    a few days after it is made to let the flavors mellow.
