Dairy-Free Syrniki with Berry Compote

Ingredients

• 16 oz Dairy-free Cottage Cheese (Tofu-based)
• 1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Sunflower Oil
• 2 cups Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)
• 1/4 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, combine the 16 oz Dairy-free Cottage Cheese (Tofu-based), 1/2 cup All-purpose Flour, 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar, 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract, and 1/4 teaspoon Salt. Mix everything together with a spoon or your hands until a cohesive dough forms.
2. 2Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Gently roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a patty about 1/2-inch thick and 2-3 inches wide.
3. 3Place a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat, which is about 350°F (175°C). Add the 2 tablespoons of Sunflower Oil to the skillet and let it heat up for about 1 minute until it shimmers.
4. 4Carefully place 3-4 syrniki patties into the hot oil. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side, until a deep golden brown color appears. Flip the patties and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the second side, until they are also golden brown and feel firm to the touch.
5. 5While the syrniki are cooking, prepare the berry compote. In a small saucepan, combine the 2 cups Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen), 1/4 cup Water, and 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice.
6. 6Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the berry mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries have softened and released their juices, creating a slightly thickened sauce. The compote is ready when the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
7. 7Remove the cooked syrniki from the skillet and place them on a plate. Serve the warm syrniki immediately with the prepared berry compote spooned over the top.
