One of the primary products produced by my region (Kymi) is goat cheese. We find it in a great variety, from soft fresh to hard mature ones.
Our richly vegetated mountains along with the fresh sea breeze result in this wonderful cheese with its full flavor and distinctive aroma.
Our ingredients:
1/2 kilo soft goat cheese
3-4 tablespoons of fresh thyme, sage, savory, and oregano
100 g almonds and walnuts, crushed
1 glass of dry red wine
1 pack of cherry tomatoes
(optionally a little fresh milk in case the cheese is not soft enough)
Blend the goat cheese in a blender with a little milk if it is too hard, to soften it.
Divide the pureed cheese into equal amounts into two bowls.
In the first, add the herbs, and in the second, the nuts.
Wet your hands with the wine and mix the ingredients until homogeneous.
Spread a sheet of parchment paper on a platter.
Wet your hands again with the wine, take an amount of cheese from the bowl, and form a small ball with your hands, then place it on the parchment paper.
Repeat the process until the cheese from both bowls is finished.
Put the platter in the refrigerator until they cool down.
Then, take a toothpick, skewer a cherry tomato and one ball of goat cheese.
Serve on platters as an appetizer.
We can incorporate it into salads or 'marry' it with dried fruits such as figs, prunes, dates, etc.
Preparation time: 20 minutes (excluding refrigeration)
Servings: 10 pieces
