A recipe from Glarus, Switzerland. I have adapted it to U.S. ingredients, it originally called for Sap Sago Cheese, which can be ordered on line for about $30 per pound (Oh No!).
Ingredients:
4 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup water
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
3 cups flour
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, thinly sliced
Directions:
1. Mix eggs, water, salt and cottage cheese in blender until smooth.
2. Add flour gradually to form a smooth paste until all flour is used. Beat very well until batter, which is stiff, forms bubbles.
3. Using a 6-quart kettle (half filled with boiling water), drop the mixture by half teaspoons into the boiling water. Simmer about 15 minutes.
4. Drain in colander.
5. Sauté chopped onion in the butter in a large fry pan until golden brown; add zokla; stir and serve. Sprinkle with Parmesan , if desired.
6. Serve with roasted chicken, beef, or pork,.
