Cheese Ball

This is how Americans like to serve cheese at parties. At almost every buffet in the United States, you will definitely see one or two of these heads. Although most often it is not so easy to see them behind the eaters crowding around.
Try making an Asian version of this cheese ball. To do this, take hard tofu instead of parmesan, instead of red onions - the white part of the green. Add chopped garlic, a little chili, and grated fresh ginger and / or wasabi instead of horseradish. It is better to roll such cheese in peanuts.

Ingredients

• chives - small bunch
• freshly ground black pepper
• medium carrots - 1 small
• peeled walnuts - 50 g
• salt
• soft cream cheese (philadelphia, almette) - 250 g
• creamy horseradish - 1 tsp
• red onion - 1 small onion
• yogurt natural - 1/3 cup
• parmesan - 40 g
• ground paprika - a pinch

Directions

1. Chop the carrots, onions and chives very finely. Grate Parmesan on a fine grater. Chop the nuts. Mix yogurt with paprika, black pepper and salt, add horseradish. Then mash the resulting cream cheese mixture, add the grated parmesan, carrots and both onions. Mix thoroughly. Put the resulting mass in the refrigerator so that it hardens slightly, for 30 minutes. Roll the cheese mass into a ball with wet hands, roll in the nuts. Wrap the cheese ball in plastic wrap, return to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Serve with a variety of crackers, crisps and raw vegetables.
