Ingredients
- 1 can minced clams (8 oz, juice reserved)
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 tbsp fat free sour cream (gives better texture and moisture)
- 0.5 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 minced garlic clove (freshly minced for best flavor)
- 0.25 cup olive oil (I like Pompeian Pure Olive Oil for this)
- salt to taste
- 2.5 cups nonfat cottage cheese (finely blended for a smoother texture)
- pepper to taste
Step 1: Blend the Base Ingredients
Begin by combining cottage cheese, clams, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic in a blender or food processor.
Blend these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Incorporate Olive Oil
While the blender is running, slowly add olive oil through the feed tube.
This will help emulsify the mixture, creating a creamy and rich consistency.
Step 3: Add Fresh Flavor
After the mixture is smooth, stir in the chopped cilantro.
This will add a fresh and vibrant flavor to your dip or spread.
Step 4: Season the Mixture
Next, season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Blend again briefly to ensure the seasonings are well incorporated.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and chill it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for even better taste.
