What’s cooking today: Biltong & blue cheese pâté

The biltong must be soft, preferably a bit fatty. I love the way a hint of lemon juice interplays with the cumin and blue cheese in this pâté, which can be whipped up in minutes. I did not use salt as the biltong does that job.

Ingredients

450 g cream cheese

50 g blue cheese, crumbled or cut up

180 g soft biltong, a bit fatty, sliced

2 Tbsp lemon juice

½ tsp ground cumin

Grinding of black pepper

Method

Put everything in a bowl. Blitz like mad until the biltong is in tiny bits, but leave it a bit chunky for texture. I served it with wonderfully crunchy black rice crackers from Woolies. DM/TGIFood
