Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 175°C. In a small bowl, combine the 2 tbsp Flaxseed Meal with the 6 tbsp Water and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
2. 2In a large bowl, combine the about 450 g Dairy-Free Cottage Cheese, 0.5 cup Sugar, 1 tsp Vanilla Extract, 0.25 cup Dairy-Free Milk, and 1 tsp Lemon Zest. Stir these ingredients together until they are well combined.
3. 3Add the 0.5 cup Semolina and the thickened flaxseed meal and water mixture to the large bowl. Mix everything thoroughly until a uniform batter forms.
4. 4Pour the entire mixture into a baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the 1 cup Mixed Berries over the top of the mixture.
5. 5Place the baking dish into the preheated oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center appears set when gently shaken.
6. 6Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Let the Zapekanka cool slightly in the dish for at least 10 minutes before serving, as it will firm up further as it cools.
