What it is
A regional specialty from the Hesse region. This pungent sour milk cheese is served cold with a simple dressing of oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and generous amounts of finely chopped raw onions.
Key ingredients
Handkäse (sour milk cheese), raw onions, vinegar (e.g., apple cider vinegar), oil (e.g., rapeseed oil), salt, pepper.
Optional tweaks
This dish is inherently keto. The only modification is to avoid the bread (Brot) or pretzel (Brezel) that it is almost always served with.
Watch out for
Bread/pretzel (side), potential sugar in pre-made vinaigrette (unlikely for this dish, which uses a very simple dressing).
