Some years ago I was in Sweden with my Hungarian friends in Göteborg. On the last day, we wanted to surprise our Swedish hosts with pancakes stuffed with cottage. So we went to the supermarket to buy the ingredients. We found everything except cottage cheese, and we wanted the same type of cheese like the Hungarian "túró". So sadly, our plan was unsuccessful. We realized that this food is not known in Sweden. They also have cottage, but it is different from ours.
Few years later, I spent a month with a scholarship in Belgium. My experience was the same. The Belgian cottage cheese (quark) is somewhere in between the Hungarian túró and our sour cream and very delicious, but of course I like mostly the Hungarian version :)
The cottage cheese dumpling is one of my favorite desserts. I guess you would like to know the recipe. So, here you go :)
Ingredients:
500 gram cottage cheese
1 egg
9 tbs grits
salt to taste
bread crumbs
1 liter water for cooking
oil for toasting the bread crumbs
Prepare:
1. Mix well the main ingredients (cottage, grits and egg). Add little salt to taste.
2. Create dumpling forms.
3. Let rest the dumplings for at least 30 minutes.
4. Cook a few dumplings at a time in salted boiling water for about 10 minutes. After cooking put them in toasted bread crumbs.
5. Finally sprinkle with icing sugar and serve with sour cream.

Nora, by anychance will we get to see how to make
somloi galuska?
Oh Zannnie certainly, but my somlói recipe is very special and funny. Well, I can make it in only one case. :) If I botch the cake sheets, then I add to some grained walnut, some chocolate and vanilla cream, raisins and rum and I serve with whipped cream.
I think it's not an authentic somlói, but delicious, so try it!
