    To eat or not to eat? :)

  • Start by soaking the dried apricots in warm water (give them a good wash first). Then peel the carrots and grate them on the coarse holes of a grater. Cut the dried apricots into pieces, drop them into boiling water, and cook — but not until fully soft. The little bits of apricot are fun and tasty to bite into in the carrot fritters, and kids tend to like them that way; if you're making these for a very young child, though, cook the apricots until soft. Stir the cream into the carrots and let them braise in a covered skillet with a little vegetable oil. Add the semolina, sugar, and salt to the carrots, then the apricot pieces and the egg yolks. Mix well and take it off the heat. Beat the chilled egg whites with a mixer. Now shape the carrot mixture into fritters, dip them in the egg white and then in breadcrumbs, and fry them on both sides in oil. Serve with sour cream.
