Polish Farmer's Cheese with Radishes
 3 cups Polish Farmer's Cheese (twaróg)
 ½ cup Sour cream (full fat)
 1 bunch of radishes
 1 bunch of chives

1

Prepare your radishes and chives. Wash and then chop the radishes in any shape or size you want for inside the cheese. Allow for some radishes to garnish the top of your cheese. Do the same with the chives. Set aside.

2

Break up your farmer's cheese in a bowl with a fork until it is crumbly, not creamy.

3

Next add the sour cream until you get the consistency that you like. You may have to adjust the amount depending on how dry your cheese was at the start. If you want to lighten the recipe up, switch out some cream for white yogurt.

4

Season the cheese with salt and pepper. You can leave it at that or you can add some other seasonings you like. I like to add a bit of these Polish herbs or some dried dill or garlic, but it isn't necessary. It's yummy without.

Finally, add in the chopped radishes and chives and give it a good mix. Place in the final serving bowl and garnish with radishes and chives.

      Welcome, welcome! I’m glad you made your way here. We love this dish so much, I just made it yesterday! Maybe not as fancy looking as in the Easter pics, but still in a Polish pottery bowl so a little fancy 😉 I don’t have a newsletter yet, but it is something to think about. I’ll let you know 🙂
