Achot (Garlicky Farmer’s Cheese with Walnuts)

Appetizers

Yield: 6 Servings

1 c Cheese, farmer
3 tb Walnuts; chopped fine
1/4 c Yogurt, low-fat
1 tb Dill; chopped fine
1 tb Parsley; chopped fine
1 Garlic clove; minced
1/8 ts Salt
Lettuce, boston
1/4 c Walnuts; chopped coarsely
Pita; toasted triangles

Process the farmer’s cheese, finely chopped walnuts, and yogurt in a food
processor until smooth.
Transfer the cheese to a bowl and mix with herbs, garlic, and salt. Shape
into a ball, cover, and refrigerate for 4 hours.
Line a small serving platter with several lettuce leaves and carefully
transfer the cheese ball to the platter. Press the coarsely chopped walnuts
into the ball so they more or less cover it. Serve with the toasted pita
triangles.
