Vitamin-Packed Syrniki (Cottage Cheese Fritters) with Sauce

These are so tasty and so good for you — an ocean of vitamins! I still had a pumpkin sitting around from Halloween, mouth and eyes carved into it and all. I hated to just toss it, so I got to wondering what I could make. I wanted the most nutritious thing possible — it's winter, vitamins are scarce, and my family won't touch plain pumpkin. These syrniki were a total hit. Really delicious!

Cooking method

Step 1:

Cut the pumpkin into cubes and boil until tender.
Step 2:

Grate the apples on the coarse side of a box grater and stir in the semolina. Let it sit for 10 minutes so the semolina swells in the apple juice.
Step 3:

Put the pumpkin, apples, cottage cheese, raisins, eggs, sugar, baking soda, and vanilla sugar in a large bowl. Blend everything together with a mixer.
Step 4:

Add the flour and vegetable oil. The batter shouldn't be too thick.
Step 5:

Drop spoonfuls of batter onto a hot, lightly oiled skillet (you don't need to add more oil as you fry — the oil in the batter is enough) and cook 1–2 minutes per side, until nicely golden.
Step 6:

Here's how the syrniki turned out.
Step 7:

For the sauce, stir together ½ cup of sour cream and ½ cup of any jam (I used cherry). That's it — the sauce is ready. It comes out not too sweet, which is just right given that the syrniki themselves are sweet. Give it a try — enjoy!

This makes a lot of batter. You can halve the ingredients, or freeze the batter (or keep it in the fridge) to fry up a fresh batch the next day. I have a big family, so nothing goes to waste.
