Method
- 1
Beat the soft butter in a bowl with a wooden spoon until pale and creamy. Make sure it is truly soft, or the spread will be lumpy.
- 2
Add the quark a spoonful at a time, beating until smooth.
- 3
Stir in the onion, paprika, caraway and salt. Taste and add a little more salt if you like.
- 4
Spoon into a bowl, cover and chill for at least 30 minutes so the flavours mingle and the paprika colours the spread.
30 min - 5
Scatter over the chives. Serve with the pepper, radishes and cucumber for dipping, or spread on bread (use gluten free bread if needed). It keeps for 3 days in the fridge.
