I like to keep a container of this in my fridge during the holidays, when I inevitably have unexpected guests. It keeps for a week and is quick and easy to make. Adapted from a Sunset cookbook. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon sesame seeds |
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup ricotta cheese or 1/2 cup small curd cottage cheese |
1 tablespoon minced parsley |
1 teaspoon garlic salt |
assorted raw vegetables |
Directions:
1. In a small frying pan over medium heat, toast sesame seeds, shaking pan often, until golden (about 2 minutes); remove from heat and set aside.
2. In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth; beat in ricotta, parsley, garlic salt and sesame seeds.
3. Cover and refrigerate for up to a week but before serving, let stand at room temperature until softened (about 30 minutes).
4. Mound in a small serving bowl and serve with veggies.
