How to cook Unsweetened lazy dumplings

Step 1

Finely chop the tomatoes in oil. Chop the parsley. Crush, peel and mince the garlic. Now chop everything together.

Step 2

Mix cottage cheese with herbs, garlic and tomatoes, a spoonful of tomato oil, salt and pepper until smooth. Add semolina and flour, mix as thoroughly as possible. You should have a dough that doesn't stick to your hands. Divide the dough into 5 parts.

Step 3

Dipping your hands in flour, roll each piece into a 2 cm sausage and place on a floured board. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 12 hours.

Step 4

Boil water in a large saucepan, season with salt. Dipping the knife in boiling water, cut off pieces of cottage cheese sausage and throw into the water. Lazy dumplings are ready when they float.

Step 5

Grease the bottom of each plate with butter. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon into plates, season with more oil, sprinkle with parmesan and serve.

Cooked lazy dumplings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan with butter or in the microwave.

Is there a gluten-free option for this recipe?
