Scotch Crowdie
Herbal Recipe
Scotch Crowdie was a popular dish of the 16th century that utilized the herb caraway.
How it was prepared
2 quarts of sour milk were heated slowly over a low heat until it separated (it was not allowed to boil).
The liquid was then strained off and the solid curds seasoned with caraway seeds, salt and pepper, then placed into a muslin bag or cheese bag to press out the extra moisture.
It was then chilled for 3 days before serving.
