In this weeks The Maine Ingredient I share a recipe for Boursin Mashers to accompany Delicata Squash with Thyme and Caramelized Onion, Mushroom and Turkey Meatloaf. Comfort food.
Boursin is actually a trademark for a type of cheese that originated in Gournay, France that has since been swallowed by the business of food. The cheese is readily available in the deli section of the grocery store, but a close substitute can easily be made at home with cream cheese, herbs and garlic.
This is also nice as an easy hors d’oeuvres served with crackers, crostinis or crudités
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 clove garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire
Freshly ground black pepper
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend well. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Makes 1 cup
Happy fall!
