Zillertaler Zerggl with Apple Puree


Dough:

potatoes

flour

graukaas

dry curd

cumin seeds

salt

 

Topping:

cream

 

Apple puree:

apples

cinnamon

lemon/orange/apple juice

sugar

 

Cook the potatoes in fresh water until they're soft (-45min) and let them cool down. Press the potatoes through the ricer and add salt, cumin seeds, curd, graukaas and flour. Mix until it is a homogenic mass. Take the same amount of dough with a table spoon and form round paddies in your hand. Make them flat on the table and don't forget to add some flour that they won't stick on the surface.

In a non-sticky pan add some coconut oil, heat it up, and put the paddies in it. Fry them until they get a golden crust.

For the apple puree peel some apples, cut them into pieces and let them soak in juice'n'sugar mix for a while. Heat up a pot with butter and add sugar and some cinnamon. When the sugar starts to caramelize add the apple and stir it. Pour the juice'n'sugar mix into the pot and cover it. Let it simmer for some minutes at low temperature. When the apples are soft use a blender to get a creamy and delicious puree.

Serve the Zerggl on a plate and add some cream on top.
