Lazy Dumplings with Caraway and Parmesan

Ingredients

Cottage cheese 200 g

Cilantro

Semolina 2 tbsp

Egg 1 pc

Caraway

Flax (seeds)

Parmesan cheese

Pepper

First, mix the cottage cheese with the egg, semolina, chopped cilantro, caraway, and flaxseed. Add just a couple tablespoons of grated soft cheese and a generous amount of pepper, no salt. You'll find out why later. The caraway and flaxseeds impart a special flavor. If you're not lazy, you can quickly roast them over high heat.

Then, heat some lightly salted water. Divide the cottage cheese mixture into two balls, dust the surface with flour, and roll the balls into sticks.

 Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer while the water is boiling. Add the vareniki and stir occasionally for five minutes.

Meanwhile, puree the Parmesan cheese in a blender with sharp knives until it's finely ground. We don't want a grated powder, but rather small grains of cheese so we can feel the texture in our mouth. That's why we didn't add salt to the cottage cheese at the very beginning.

Remove the vareniki from the water, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with cilantro and Parmesan.

Enjoy!
