Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Peel the onion and finely chop it along with the cucumbers and capers. Peel and crush the garlic.
  2. Mix the room-temperature butter with the bryndza, add the mustard, and stir until smooth. Season with salt, ground caraway, pepper, and paprika.
  3. Stir in the onion, cucumbers, garlic, and capers, then refrigerate the spread for 30 minutes.

Tip: Sweet paprika gives the spread both color and flavor, while chili peppers let you adjust the heat more precisely. Two tablespoons of hot paprika would be too much.
