Obatzda (Bavarian cheese spread)

1. Mash the camembert and the soft butter well with a fork - a few small pieces can remain.

2. Stir in the cream cheese until creamy.

3. Chop the onion very finely and add it to the spread with the paprika and caraway seeds.

4. Stir in enough beer to make it easy to spread, then season with salt and pepper.

5. Chill for at least 30 minutes so the flavours can blend.

6. Serve sprinkled with radishes and chives, with fresh bread or pretzels.

Tip: It's best with a really ripe camembert - the softer the cheese, the creamier the result.
