Description
Delightful dumplings filled with creamy farmer’s cheese, served with a sweet fruit compote.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup farmer’s cheese (or ricotta/cottage cheese)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (dill or parsley)
- 1/4 cup sugar (for the compote)
- 2 cups seasonal fruits (strawberries, blueberries, or apples)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dumpling Dough: In a large bowl, combine the farmer’s cheese, flour, eggs, melted butter, and herbs. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Shape the Dumplings: On a flour-dusted surface, roll small amounts of dough into balls or ovals.
- Cook the Dumplings: Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil and drop in the dumplings. Cook until they float, about 3-5 minutes.
- Prepare the Sweet Compote: In a saucepan, simmer fruits with sugar and a splash of water until syrupy. Add cinnamon or vanilla if desired.
- Serve with Love: Drain dumplings and serve warm topped with sweet compote and optional honey or herbs.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the dough and ensure the water is boiling when cooking the dumplings for the best texture.
