Mash any of the soft cream cheeses and add chopped olives
and pimientos in equal parts. This mixture requires much
salt to make it palatable to most palates, the amount
depending chiefly on the quantity of pimiento used. The
mixture may be spread between thin slices of bread or it
may be made into a roll or molded, cut into slices and
served on lettuce leaves with French dressing.

(3) Ways to use cottage cheese. Cottage cheese alone is an
appetizing and nutritious dish. It may also be served with
sweet or sour cream, and some persons add a little sugar,
or chives, chopped onion or caraway seed.
The following recipes[154] illustrate a number of ways in
which cottage cheese may be served:
Cottage Cheese with Preserves and Jellies
Pour over cottage cheese any fruit preserves, such as
strawberries, figs or cherries. Serve with bread or
crackers. If preferred, cottage cheese balls may be served
separately and eaten with the preserves. A very attractive
dish may be made by dropping a bit of jelly into a nest of
the cottage cheese.
Cottage Cheese Salad
Mix thoroughly one pound of cheese, one and one-half
tablespoonfuls of cream, one tablespoonful of chopped
parsley and salt to taste. First, fill a rectangular tin
mold with cold water to chill and wet the surface; line
the bottom with waxed paper, then pack in three layers of
the cheese, putting two or three parallel strips of
pimiento, fresh or canned, between the layers. Cover with
waxed paper and set in a cool place until ready to serve;
then run a knife around the sides and invert the mold. Cut
in slices and serve on lettuce leaves with French dressing
and wafers or thin bread-and-butter sandwiches. Minced
olives may be used instead of the parsley, and chopped
nuts also may be added.
Cottage Cheese Rolls
(To be used like meat rolls.)
A large variety of rolls, suitable for serving as the main
dish at dinner, may be made by combining legumes (beans of
various kinds, cowpeas, lentils or peas) with cottage
cheese, and adding bread crumbs to make the mixture thick
enough to form into a roll. Beans are usually mashed, but
peas or small Lima beans may be combined whole with bread
crumbs and cottage cheese, and enough of the liquor in
which the vegetables have been cooked should be added to
get the right consistency; or, instead of beans or peas,
chopped spinach, beet tops or head lettuce may be added.
Boston Roast
1 pound can of kidney beans, or equivalent quantity of cooked beans.
½ pound of cottage cheese.
Bread crumbs.
Salt.
