Ingredients:
- garlic – 2 heads
- soft cheese – 100 g
- white yogurt without additives – 150 g
- olive oil – 100 g
- salt – to taste
- ground black pepper – to taste
- white or black bread – 2-3 slices
- water – 2 tbsp. l.
- wine vinegar – 2 tbsp. l.
- tomatoes – 3 pcs.
- basil – 30 g
Recipe with garlic: cooking a dish:
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Wrap the garlic heads in foil and bake for about 30 minutes. The garlic should become soft and golden.
- After taking the garlic out of the oven and cooling it down, squeeze it out of the peel into a deep plate.
- Add the cottage cheese, yogurt, olive oil, salt and pepper to the bowl. Beat with a blender. You will get a very pleasant garlic spread. Put it on a plate and spread it evenly.
- Now prepare the bread: stale bread is best for our dish. Soak it in water and wine vinegar. Leave on for 5-10 minutes. Press the bread and place it in a deep bowl.
- Add the chopped tomatoes to the bread. Season with salt and pepper. Add basil leaves and a little olive oil. Mix thoroughly.
- Put everything on a cheese and garlic “pillow”. If desired, add more basil and ground black pepper. Done!
