Hello you! Today I have for you a typical Bavarian beer garden dish recipe - Obatzda. What? You've never heard of Obatzda? Well lucky you have me (or the Internet) :).
Obatzda - also Obatzter, Obazda, Obazde or Obazd'n - is a spicy cheese specialty that is served with rye bread or pretzels and radish cut into spirals.
The original Obatzte was a recovery of old cheese residues, particularly of Camembert and other soft cheeses. To make it again eatable the ripe to over-ripe cheese was mixed with butter and spices were added, primarily paprika powder and often also cumin or onion. From this traditional version, a variety of recipes developed. (Source: wikipedia)
I opted for a "lighter" version that does not contain as much Camembert, nor cumin and beer.
