Cottage cheese is a very healthy product. A wide variety of dishes are prepared from it. These are casseroles, and juicy cakes, and cheese cakes, and cheese mass, and Easter, and lazy dumplings and much more. If you and your family members love pure cottage cheese, then in the form of products it will also be to your taste. Today we are going to cook a wonderful dish - cottage cheese.
Cottage cheese, in our usual sense, is a sweet dish, which is most often the main one for an afternoon snack, breakfast or late dinner. Today we will cook cottage cheese with vegetables, namely with zucchini. In this combination, they can be made both sweet and salty. This is a versatile curd dish served with cream in the sweet version, and garlic sauce in the salty version. Unusual and original curds with zucchini are in harmony with many combinations of tastes.
For the preparation of delicious cottage cheese, according to tradition, I will give a few tips. First, take only high-quality cottage cheese. Sour will not work. Secondly, since the zucchini is quite watery, then buy cottage cheese drier. With too fatty cottage cheese, the pancakes in the pan may fall apart. Thirdly, so that the curds turn out to be airy and brown during frying, do not spare vegetable oil. And if you want to get a dietary dish, then cook it not in a pan, but in the oven in silicone molds.
