Herb Quark

Quark stirred smooth with cream and plenty of fresh herbs, finished with a drizzle of linseed oil.

Ingredients · for 4 servings

• 500 g quark
• 100 ml cream
• 3 tbsp milk
• 1 onion
• 1 bunch chives
• 1 bunch parsley
• 1 bunch dill
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp linseed oil
• Salt, pepper

Instructions

1. Put the quark in a bowl and stir with the cream and milk until smooth, with no lumps visible.
2. Peel the onion and dice very finely so it distributes evenly in the quark.
3. Wash the chives, parsley and dill, pat thoroughly dry and cut finely – wet herbs make the quark watery.
4. Fold the herbs and diced onion into the quark and season generously with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
5. Cover and chill for 15 min. so the onion and herbs release their flavor into the quark.
6. Drizzle with linseed oil before serving and serve with boiled potatoes or fresh bread.
