Chickweed spread

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 1 handful of chickweed, fresh
• 100 g yogurt, pure, possibly up to 150 g
• 2 tbsp quark or cream cheese, possibly up to 4 tbsp
• ½ tsp horseradish, grated, possibly up to 1 tsp
• 3 radishes, possibly up to 5
• n. B. Salt
• n. B. Pfeffer

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 10 minutes

based on yogurt and quark

Wash the chickweed, spin dry, and chop. Blend the yogurt with the quark or cream cheese and horseradish until smooth – if necessary, adjust the quantity and consistency with a little more yogurt or quark/cream cheese. Trim and finely dice the radishes. Mix everything together and season to taste. It tastes particularly good on grainy rolls or dark, hearty bread – but also as a dip with crispbread, Finn Crisp, bread chips, or similar. A completely different, but equally suitable, flavor can be achieved by using about 1/4 to 1/2 a rosy-cheeked apple instead of the radishes. Chickweed is by no means just bird food or even a weed; it’s very healthy and contains plenty of vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, iron – as well as silica, selenium, B vitamins, and calcium. It’s also available as a fresh green almost year-round. If you don’t have or can’t find chickweed, you can use ground elder or garden cress for the spread.
