Summary

Ingredients

• Cottage cheese – 500 g
• Pumpkin (peeled) – 200 g
• Dried apricots – 80 g
• Sugar – 1.5 tbsp
• Starch – 1 tbsp
• Ground turmeric – 1 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil (for lubricating the mold) – 1 teaspoon

Instructions

1. You can take any cottage cheese, I have 5% fat. I used cornstarch, but potato starch is fine too. Such a cottage cheese casserole without eggs and flour is prepared quite quickly, so it is better to turn on the oven in advance to warm up to a temperature of 180 degrees.

   

2. Cut the peeled pumpkin into small cubes, put in a saucepan, pour about 300-400 ml of water, and put on maximum heat. Bring water to a boil. Then reduce heat to low and cook the pumpkin for about 10 minutes, until tender. Drain excess water from the boiled pumpkin and leave it to cool. If you wish, you can not boil the pumpkin, but bake it in the microwave. To do this, put the pumpkin slices in a microwave-safe dish (glass or ceramic, without gilding or metal elements), add water and cook on high power for about 3-4 minutes, until soft.
3. Dried apricots cut into small cubes.
4. Combine cottage cheese and dried apricots in a separate deep bowl.
