This recipe is a twist on Twarozek, a typical Polish dish made of curd cheese mixed with chives, radish, cream and spices. As well as being a traditional springtime treat, Twarozek is also a popular breakfast dish in Poland. However, in this recipe – a simple combination of ricotta, sour cream, chives and radish spread on rye bread – it’s transformed into a tasty canapé, perfect for dinner parties or drinks with friends.
