Cottage Cheese Dumplings
Also known as: Túrógombóc
Hungarian curd-cheese dumplings coated in toasted breadcrumbs and served with sour cream.
About Cottage Cheese Dumplings
Botos Claudia's Hungarian túrógombóc recalls the curd-cheese dumplings her grandmother frequently made. Curd, eggs and wheat semolina form the soft centres, with vanilla sugar and grated lemon zest adding aroma.
The rested mixture is shaped into balls and poached, then rolled in breadcrumbs toasted in oil. The contrast is between tender cheese dumplings and a golden crumb coating.
Sour cream and icing sugar finish the plate. Jam is another suggested accompaniment, while optional ground walnuts or cinnamon add flavour to the breadcrumb coating.
