How to cook

1. Pour the apricots and raisins with hot water and leave for 5 minutes.

   

2. Lightly roast the peanuts in a dry pan. Chop them with a blender or chop them finely with a knife.

   

3. Mash the cottage cheese with a fork or blender.

   

4. Add sugar to cottage cheese, stir. Beat in the egg. Beat the mixture with a blender until smooth.

   

5. Add a little salt, vanilla and nutmeg to the dough. Knead again.

   

6. Pour in half the flour and the baking soda. Mix the dough with a spoon. Add the flour a little at a time until the dough is thick but sticky.

   

7. Put a large pot of water on the fire. Salt the water a little and add half a teaspoon of sugar. Mix the chopped peanuts with the raisins. Cut the apricots into four pieces. Place the dough on a mat or table sprinkled with flour, knead it until it is elastic.

   

8. Divide the dough into small sausages, each cut into bite-sized pieces.

   

9. Flatten or roll out the dough bars - they should be about 3-4 mm thick. Place the filling in the middle of each circle: crab with almonds or a mixture of raisins and peanuts.

   

10. Form balls.

    

11. Carefully lower the dumplings into the boiling water, stir to prevent them from sticking to the bottom. Reduce the heat to medium.

    

12. ВCook the balls for about five minutes. Take them out with a slotted spoon and put them on a plate. Serve the dish with salted caramel, jam. If you are not too fond of sweets, pour melted butter or sour cream over the dumplings.

Cooking tips

•  To make diet lazy dumplings from cottage cheese, replace wheat flour in the recipe with whole wheat flour or add some bran. Note: the finished dumplings will turn out more dense.

• If time is very short, you can chop nuts with a blender, steam raisins and add them directly to the dough.
