Kada nedostaje vremena, a potreban vam je hranjiv i zdrav doručak, vrijedi probati lijene varenyky. Varenyky su tradicionalno ukrajinsko jelo od tijesta i nadjeva (svježi sir, krumpir, kupus, mljeveno meso, grašak ili bobičasto voće). Međutim, priprema varenykyja je prilično duga. A mi volimo brze “lijene” recepte, zar ne? Dakle,

Sastojci:

• 300 g svježeg sira
• 1 jaje
• Sol i šećer po ukusu
• 4 žlice brašna
• Džem ili bobičasto voće po ukusu

Priprema:

1. U zdjeli pomiješajte svježi sir, sol, šećer i brašno. Sir ne smije biti vlažan, pa ga možete ocijediti prije pripreme.
2. Mokrim rukama oblikujte male kuglice od tijesta i stavite ih na površinu posutu brašnom.
3. Po želji, u sredinu kuglica možete staviti bobičasto voće ili žličicu džema.
4. Lijene varenyky treba kuhati u posoljenoj vodi. Pažljivo spustite kuglice u kipuću vodu. Potpuno su gotove kad isplivaju na površinu.
5. Najbolje je poslužiti jelo toplo, s dodatkom maslaca, kiselog vrhnja ili bobičastog voća, meda ili džema.

Smačnogo! Dobar tek!

Lazy varenyky

When you’re short on time but need a nutritious and healthy breakfast, you should try lazy varenyky. Varenyky are a traditional Ukrainian dish made of dough and filling (cottage cheese, potatoes, cabbage, minced meat, peas, or berries). However, making varenyky is quite time-consuming. And we like quick “lazy” recipes, don’t we? So, here you go:

Ingredients:

• 300 g cottage cheese
• 1 egg
• Salt and sugar to taste
• 4 tablespoons of flour
• Jam or berries to taste

Preparation:

1. In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese, salt, sugar, and flour. The cottage cheese should be dry, so you can press out the liquid before cooking.
2. With wet hands, roll small balls from the dough and place them on a floured surface.
3. Optionally, you can put berries or a teaspoon of jam in the center of the balls.
4. Lazy varenyky should be boiled in salted water. Gently drop the balls into the boiling water. They are fully cooked when they float to the surface.
5. It’s best to serve the dish warm, with the addition of butter, sour cream or berries, honey, or jam.

Smachnogo! Bon appétit!
