Cottage cheese is a delicious fermented milk product that supplies our body with many useful substances. It is an excellent source of calcium, which is important for the formation and maintenance of the human skeletal system. Perhaps that is why it is widely used in the preparation of numerous dishes. The peculiarity of cottage cheese is that both sweet, fruity, and spicy, spicy works of culinary art can be prepared from it. The variety of recipes is simply amazing. One of the dishes that both adults and children love is cottage cheese balls. Photos of these products bring us back to childhood - even my grandmother made a similar delicacy.

Vegetarian curd balls

To prepare the dish, take 300 grams of cottage cheese, add sour cream (3 tablespoons), about 200 grams of sugar. All knead until smooth. Add a little lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to a teaspoon of soda, after the reaction is completed, add to the curd, put a little s alt. Once again, knead everything. Now you need to add flour. It needs enough to make a fairly dense, but not hard dough. Knead until it starts to lag behind the hands, form balls (2-3 cm in diameter). In thick-walled dishes(cauldron) heat up the oil. It's important not to overheat it. Dip a few cottage cheese balls into the cauldron. Temperature and fire should be medium. For 5-6 minutes, the balls should be baked inside and not burn. They should have a nice golden color. Serve hot, sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Spicy curd balls

Excellent appetizer made from fat cottage cheese (300g). Add 50 grams of sour cream to it, 10 grams of curry seasoning and dried ground tomatoes (in extreme cases, you can replace with a tablespoon of tomato paste, but then the mass will be watery), 20 grams of chopped parsley, as well as ground black pepper and s alt. Form curd balls from the resulting mass, roll in seasonings. They can be made multi-colored: some can be rolled in chopped dill or parsley, some in curry, and others in dried tomatoes. Put on a dish. Beautiful, unusual and spicy.

Curd balls with garlic and nuts

To prepare a snack, take fat cottage cheese (350-400 grams) and Feta cheese (about 100 grams), wipe them through a sieve (you can use a blender). Add to the resulting mass:

• soft butter (100 grams);
• 2-3 garlic cloves, pressed through a press;
• crushed walnuts (50 grams);
• 2 tbsp. spoons of mayonnaise;
• 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice;

Raffaello cheese balls

Pour 120-150 grams of coconut flakes, mix everything thoroughly. Divide the mass into small pieces, in which put a nut (you can take hazelnuts, peanuts, walnuts, etc.). Shape into balls, roll in crushed nuts and/or coconut and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Wonderful dessert!
