How about a portion of boiled papanasi, with cheese, rolled in roasted walnuts and bathed in sour cherry honey? I used sweet cheese, whole grain semolina, and instead of breadcrumbs I put roasted walnuts.
They are delicious and suitable even for the little ones.
I didn't use sweetener or sugar because I served them with Cherry Melinis, but depending on your tastes, you can put 1 tablespoon of sweetener or powdered sugar in the walnuts ground.
Sour cherry melinis is a preparation based on acacia honey and sour cherries, with an irresistibly good, sweet-sour taste.
INGREDIENTS
- 300 g sweet and drained cow's cheese
- 100 g whole wheat
- 2 eggs
- 1/8 lgt salt
- unpeeled lemon peel (grated)
- 150 gwalnuts roasted and ground
- 1 class="wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit">lg green sugar sweetener or sugar (optional)
- Sour cherry melinis
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Put in the bowl of the food processor: drained cottage cheese, semolina, eggs, salt, lemon zest and mix.
-
We leave the dough aside for about 30 minutes, while the semolina absorbs the moisture from the cheese.
-
During this time, bake the walnuts in the oven for 5-7 minutes at 180°C.
-
The baked and cooled walnuts grind and transfer to a bowl.
-
Add sweetener or powdered sugar to the ground walnuts. You can omit the sweetener/sugar, but that also depends on your taste.
-
Wet your hands with water and make balls of dough, approximately 40g, and place them in the boiling water.
-
Let them boil for approximately 7-8 minutes. When cooked, the papanas will rise to the surface.
-
Remove them with a spatula and while still hot, toss them in the ground walnut mixture.
-
When serving, add sour cherry melinis, which is honey combined with pieces of sour cherries. A delight!
