By

A classic biergarten food, Obatzda, also spelled obatzter and obazda, combines a few simple ingredients to create a brightly colored cheese spread with surprisingly complex flavor. Typical accompaniments for Obatzda are Bavarian pretzels, rye bread, rounds of red radish or spiral-cut white radish. Perfect for the Oktoberfest party!

Ingredients:

  • 500 g ripe Camembert
  • 40 g soft butter
  • 200 g cream cheese
  • 80 g finely chopped onions
  • Salt, pepper
  • Paprika, caraway
  • 2 tbsp of chopped chives
  • 60 g finely sliced onion rings
  • 6-8 tbsp of beer to taste

Preparation:

  1. Mash the Camembert with a fork and add the butter, cream cheese and onions.
  2. Season with salt, pepper, paprika and caraway to taste. Add beer gradually and stir.
  3. Spoon a portion of Obatzda onto each plate and garnish with onion rings, chives and caraway.
  4. Serve preferably with rye bread, wholemeal bread and radishes.
