Boiled papanasi with plums – A Delicacy of Tradition! Papanasi are a true treasure of culinary art, bringing joy to every corner of the table. This recipe for boiled papanasi with plums is not just a quick dessert, but also a journey back in time, evoking pleasant childhood memories when the aroma of cottage cheese and caramelized plums filled our souls with joy. A simple and accessible recipe, perfect for moments when you want to impress family or friends! Preparation time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 15 minutes Total time: 35 minutes Number of servings: 4-6 Essential ingredients: - 500 g cottage cheese - 2 eggs - 3 tablespoons semolina - 5 tablespoons flour - 3 packets vanilla sugar (or 30 g vanilla sugar) - a pinch of salt - oil (for frying) - breadcrumbs (to coat the papanasi) For the plum filling: - 400 g plums (about 10-12 large plums) - 100 g sugar (or to taste) Useful tips: 1. Make sure the cottage cheese is well drained of whey to avoid a too wet mixture that could lead to less formed papanasi. 2. Use ripe but firm plums to achieve a delicious sauce. Overripe plums can turn into a puree, which we do not want for our filling. 3. If you prefer a less sweet version, you can reduce the amount of sugar by using less for the plums. Step-by-step preparation: 1. Preparing the papanasi mixture: In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, semolina, flour, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix the ingredients well with a spatula or your hands until you achieve a homogeneous mixture. If you find the dough too soft, you can add a little more flour. 2. Shaping the papanasi: On a clean surface, sprinkle a little flour to prevent sticking. Take a portion of the dough and form balls the size of a golf ball. Gently flatten them in the middle to create a depression. This will be where we add the plums. 3. Preparing the plums: Wash the plums, cut them in half, and remove the pits. If you wish, you can caramelize them: in a pan, add the sugar and plums, stirring gently until the sugar melts and the plums become slightly soft. This will add a delicious note of sweetness! 4. Filling the papanasi: Place half a plum in each depression of the papanasi, then seal them well, ensuring the filling is completely covered with dough. 5. Boiling the papanasi: In a large pot, add water and a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil. When the water starts to boil, reduce the heat for a gentle simmer. Carefully add the papanasi, a few at a time, and let them boil for 10-15 minutes until they rise to the surface. That means they are ready! 6. Preparing for serving: Remove the papanasi with a spatula and let them drain on a paper towel. Meanwhile, in a pan, add a little oil and breadcrumbs, and fry the papanasi for a few minutes until they become golden and crispy on the outside. Serving: Boiled papanasi with plums are served warm, sprinkled with powdered sugar and optionally with sour cream or yogurt. You can accompany them with a vanilla or chocolate sauce for an even more decadent experience! Calories and Nutritional Benefits: These papanasi are an excellent source of protein due to the cottage cheese and eggs. Each serving provides about 300-400 calories, depending on the amount of sugar and sour cream added. Plums add vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, contributing to healthy digestion. Frequently Asked Questions: - Can I use low-fat cottage cheese? Yes, but keep in mind that the texture will be slightly different, and the papanasi will not be as creamy. - How can I store the papanasi? You can keep them in the fridge in an airtight container for 1-2 days. You can reheat them in the oven or in a pan to bring them back to life. - Can I make papanasi gluten-free? You can replace the flour with a gluten-free alternative, such as almond flour or oat flour. Possible variations: If you like to experiment, you can add flavors of cinnamon or lemon zest to the dough. Also, instead of plums, you can use apples or even cherries! Boiled papanasi with plums are more than just a simple dessert; they are a family story, a warm hug shared with loved ones. Try this recipe and let yourself be carried away by the flavors of childhood!
