CERVELLE DE CANUT (HERBED CHEESE SPREAD)

Cervelle de Canut (Herbed Cheese Spread) image

The author Bill Buford spent years in Lyon, France, researching French cuisine for his book "Dirt." He picked up this recipe from a modern Lyonnaise bouchon, Le Bouchon des Filles. The simple, savory mixture of fromage blanc with shallots, garlic and other seasonings is a mainstay in Lyon, where it often appears with the cheese course. (Or it may be the cheese course.) The name means silk worker's brain, a mysterious reference to the days when silk weaving made Lyon rich. This version is set apart by its lavish use of fresh herbs.

Time 10m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 pound fresh, whole-milk, full-fat fromage blanc (ideally from a farm)
1 small shallot, peeled and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herb leaves (such as dill, tarragon, chives, chervil and parsley)
1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/2 small garlic clove
3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more as needed

Steps:

If using farm-fresh cheese, line a sieve with two layers of cheesecloth and place over a bowl. Add the fromage blanc and let it strain at room temperature for at least 3 to 4 hours to eliminate excess liquid.
Combine fromage blanc with all remaining ingredients in a food processor and blend until the shallots are finely chopped and the texture begins to resemble cottage cheese, about 30 seconds.
Empty into a bowl and whisk; season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve chilled; eat with a spoon or serve with baguette.

CERVELLE DE CANUT (FRENCH CREAM CHEESE SPREAD WITH WINE)

A French spread from the Burgundy region. The original recipe asks for quark, a German/French soft curd cheese, but it will work with cottage cheese as well. Serve the spread with fresh toast. The preparation time does not include the 4 hours needed to strain the cottage cheese.
