  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic , minced

  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Method
 

  1. Place the cottage cheese, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and anchovy fillets into a high-speed blender or food processor.
  2. Blend on high speed for approximately 45 to 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and no cottage cheese curds remain.
  3. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper to the blender.
  4. Pulse the blender 3 to 5 times until the seasonings are well incorporated but the texture remains emulsified.
