• Garlic - to taste
• Greens - for decoration to taste

Cooking

We start cooking appetizers with the preparation of the filling. Wash greens and finely chop.


We put the cottage cheese in a deep bowl so that it is convenient to mix. Squeeze three cloves of garlic into a bowl with cottage cheese, if you want to be spicier, you can add more garlic, depending on your preferences. Then add finely chopped greens to the bowl, send mayonnaise there, salt and pepper to taste.


Thoroughly mix everything until a homogeneous thick creamy mass is formed.
You can use a blender for more thorough mixing, but this is not necessary, although it will give the filling a more delicate consistency.

Tomatoes, pre-washed, cut into slices of medium thickness and spread on a large flat dish. Tomatoes are best cut parallel to the stalk, so all the pulp will remain in place and not spread. It is best to take large tomatoes, if you take small ones, then the tomato consumption will be very large and it will take enough time to apply the filling to small circles.


We spread the filling on the circles of tomato in a slide, or distribute it in an even layer over the circle. If all the circles do not fit in one row on a plate, then they can be laid in several tiers, something like a layer cake will turn out. We decorate the appetizer with greens.


If there is no cottage cheese on hand, then it can be replaced with processed cheese, grated. Before grating the cheese, hold it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes so that it hardens and does not smear on the grater. Salt and pepper can be omitted as processed cheese and mayonnaise enough salt. Sprinkle parsley on top of tomatoes with cottage cheese and garlic. This option is more satisfying, but less useful.

tradition to do hot sandwich with tomato and cheese appeared in our country with the first microwave ovens, in the late 90s. How many of you or your mothers then understood the varieties of cheese and the intricacies of its production?
In addition, what was offered in the store at that time - Rossiysky, Uglichsky, Kostroma - were classic rennet cheeses and posed a minimal risk in terms of the formation of oxalates in the kidneys. Experiments on combining the sourdough and rennet approach in the manufacture of cheeses were just beginning at that time. But we did not think about it and gradually transferred our sandwiches to another type of cheese. So there were "traditional" recipes that carry a hidden bomb.

*But, by the way, already then in the manuals on nutrition, patients were warned about the risks of combining cheese, tomato and bread.

There is another factor worth noting when comparing cheese and cottage cheese. This is the serving size. We usually consider cottage cheese as useful low calorie meal, and at a time we eat 150-200 g (pack). And cheese, as a rule, goes as a snack, we are careful about extra calories, and at a time its portion is up to 50 g. On a large piece of pizza, it will be about 10 g of cheese. Obviously, with such insignificant volumes, the risks of oxylate formation are significantly reduced, and even against the background of the properties of rennet cheeses.

To complete the picture, I will give examples of varieties. I lower hard varieties cheese because they are easy to distinguish from our traditional cottage cheese. Although there is also something to say here, and I hope to write a separate article on this topic in the near future.
So, rennet cheese varieties, i.e. those that can be mixed with tomatoes are cheese and feta. Just make sure that the production method is indicated on the packaging! Modern manufacturers have learned how to make starter cheeses, which are similar in consumer properties to brynza and feta. This is not good or bad, it's about pairing with tomatoes.

But Adyghe cheese refers to starter varieties, it should not be mixed with tomatoes.

Finally, I consider it important to warn you: there are very few real rennet cheeses in Russia. Due to the high cost of raw materials (we said that milk is required with special parameters, and besides, it cannot be stored), our stores are littered with cheeses based on fermented milk or combined. Some of them can be classified as hard cheeses, but this consistency is achieved through special hardener salts. From point of view diet food I would recommend to be careful with such cheeses. Their advantage is only in price, but in terms of nutrition:

1. They do not reach real rennet cheeses in terms of the composition of amino acids and vitamins. In particular, tryptophan is practically absent;
2. They do not reach cottage cheese in terms of protein saturation, while there is an excess of animal fats;
3. There is still a risk of oxalate formation when combined with tomatoes, although it is lower than in the case of low-fat cottage cheese. But here a lot depends on the specific type of cheese, its composition and production conditions.

By the way, for pizza with tomatoes, use meat fillings With coarse fibers: veal, chicken, lean fish. Proteins from such products will pull over organic acids from tomatoes, and a thin crust of cheese will slip through without serious consequences.

*However, let's not forget that the Mediterranean regions are leaders in gout diseases. And among the indigenous peoples of South and Central America, who, unlike us, have been familiar with tomatoes for several millennia, tomatoes are not an indispensable attribute of the national cuisine.
