Instructions
- Place the camembert in a medium sized bowl and mash it thoroughly with a fork. Add the remaining ingredients except for the onion and continue to mash until the mixture reaches the desired consistency. It should not be completely smooth, it should be chunky. Let the spread chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, and then stir in the onions before serving. (The onions will release liquid if left in too long and will make the spread watery.) Add salt to taste.To serve, garnish the Obatzda with some onion slices, chopped chives, and some sliced radishes if desired.Serve with soft pretzels, rye bread, crackers or vegetables.
