Cheese Balls with Red Bell Pepper, Olives and Smoked Paprika Powder

Mix cream cheese, juice of one lemon and Worcester sauce until creamy. Stir in chives, cheese, olives, paprika, season with salt and freshly ground bell pepper.

Pile cheese mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap, lift ends of wrap, form cheese into a ball using the wrap, fold wrap over. Press cheese ball into a suitable smaller baking dish and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

In another baking bowl, mix paprika and almond kernels (or pistachios). Cut nut-sized balls from the cheese ball and roll in the spice mixture. Place on a serving plate and cover with foil to cool. 1/2 hour before serving, remove foil and allow balls to come to room temperature. Serve with crackers.

Creator’s Note: The meatballs can also be rolled in other seasoning mixes, such as cumin/pistachio, fresh chopped kitchen herbs of Provence/pine nut/almond, or dried and finely chopped tarragon. Instead of the roasted peppers, finely diced dried tomatoes in oil (well drained) are also delicious.

Our tip: As an alternative to fresh herbs, you can also use frozen ones – these are also characterized by a fresh taste!
