This recipe is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a lighter and healthier alternative to traditional dumplings. Using cottage cheese, spelt flour and buckwheat semolina, the dumplings are rich in protein and fibre. The combination of sweet apricots and cinnamon-nut sprinkles adds an incredible flavour to the dish and I believe the whole family will love this dish now through the summer.
Ready in 30 minutes
Portion 4 (14 pieces in total)
Difficulty simple
Ingredients
250 g cottage cheese
70 g spelt flour
50 g buckwheat semolina
1 egg
1 tablespoon honey or other natural sweetener
A pinch of salt
6 small apricots (pitted)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
butter for spreading
Method
- Prepare the dough: In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese, spelt flour, wholemeal flour, eggs, honey, a pinch of salt and vanilla extract (if using). Work into a smooth dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a little extra flour. If it is too dry, add a little water or milk.
- Shape the dumplings: divide the dough into 12-14 equal parts. Shape each piece of dough into a patty and place an apricot quarter in the centre.
- Cooking: bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully place the dumplings in the boiling water and cook for about 7 minutes until they float to the surface.Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and drain.
- Brush the dumplings with melted butter to prevent them from sticking. Serve with a little cottage cheese, sprinkled with cinnamon, a little honey or chopped nuts.
Tips and tricks
○ Prepare a quick cinnamon-nut sprinkle for apricot dumplings : just mix nuts (walnuts, pecans) with cinnamon in a bowl, which I never spare, and add two tablespoons of melted butter and sweetener according to your preference.
