Dumplings with cottage cheese and herbs

How to make dumplings with cottage cheese and herbs?

1. Sift the wheat flour into a bowl.

2. Add salt to the sifted flour. Mix everything well.

3. Boil the required amount of water and add vegetable oil (sunflower or olive) to it. Mix it up.

4. Make a small depression in the flour mixture and pour hot water with oil into the middle. Stir first with a tablespoon or a spatula. Then, when the dough cools down a little, transfer it to a work surface sprinkled with flour and knead a tight elastic dough.

5. Wrap the finished dough in plastic wrap and let it stand for 20-30 minutes at rest.

6. While the dough is resting, prepare the filling for dumplings. To do this, rinse the green onions and parsley under running water and dry them, spreading them out on paper towels. After the greens are dry, finely chop them.

7. Grind the cottage cheese through a metal sieve or simply mash it with a fork. Then beat the chicken egg into it, add a little salt to taste and mix everything until smooth. Pour the chopped greens into the curd mass and mix again.

8. Take the "rested" dough again and roll it out with a rolling pin with a thin layer. Use a glass or cup to cut out circles from the dough. Put the curd filling in the middle of these circles, then pinch the edges of the dumplings tightly. In the same way, stick all the remaining dumplings.

9. Pour water into a saucepan and put it on a high heat. As soon as the water boils, add salt to it and carefully throw all the dumplings. Stir so that they do not stick together. Bring the water to a boil again. As soon as the dumplings float to the surface, cook them for another 3-4 minutes over medium heat.

Catch the finished dumplings with a slotted spoon from the pan into a large dish and brush with butter. You can serve it with sour cream and herbs.

Bon appetit!
