Things to do with Quark

Things to do with Quark

1)   Mix large tin tuna with tub of quark, add salt/pepper & lemon juice. Herbs optional & you have tuna mayonnaise

2)  Mix crushed garlic & chopped herbs with Quark & you have herb and garlic cheese. 

3)  Mix marmite to taste with Quark & you have a savoury alternative to butter for sandwiches. 

4)  Mix Quark with hard boiled egg & you have egg mayo.

5)  Stir in ½ fat cheese (around 3 pps for 40g) or stilton (4pps for 40g). Leave for the flavour to develop and use as a filling for jacket potatoes or as a stir in pasta sauce.

6)  Mix in chopped red pepper & chilli for a fiery dip or spread. 

7)  Use in place of cottage cheese for quiche recipes. 

8)  Mix with frozen summer fruits and sweetener to use as a dessert. 

NB: When you are cooking with Quark, always add it off the heat just before you serve otherwise it separates. Although this doesn't affect the flavour, it may not look appealing.

Here's another idea

Cheese Sauce / Dip

1 pack quark cheese

1/2 pack of dill

1/2 pack mustard and cress

1 lime

Lots of salt and pepper

Roughly break up the dill 'fronds'

Add the cress

Cut the lime and squeeze over the herbs.

Add the cheese and mix until smooth

Add the salt and pepper to taste (quark seems to require a lot of both)

Serve with celery sticks and radishes.
