How To Make Simple Romanian Semolina Dumplings | Granny's Kitchen Recipes | Rețetă de Găluște

semolina

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber while all-purpose flour is more accessible.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and margarine is often less expensive.

egg

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: egg substitute

Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative that binds well.

Separate egg yolks from egg whites. Whisk the egg whites with salt until light and fluffy.

Keep aside 2 tbsp of semolina. Fold in the rest of the semolina into the egg white, bit by bit and mix well. Leave the mix aside for a few minutes.

Add the egg yolks into the mixture and fold to incorporate everything. Add the remaining 2 tbsp of semolina, incorporate everything well and set aside.

Bring water to boil. I like to add a sprinkle of all purpose seasoning in the water.

Using a tablespoon, take half tablespoon of semolina and shape it, then drop the mix in the boiling water. Repeat with the rest of the mix and boil the dumplings for 10 minutes, or until the semolina is boiled.

The dumplings should be fluffy and light when they are ready. You can serve them on their own, or add them into soup, or serve them as a side to meat.
