Kurt
Description
A delicious appetizer for any gathering. Be sure to rub the cottage cheese through a sieve; otherwise, it will be impossible to form the balls so that they do not fall apart later. In the absence of sun and warmth, kurut can be dried in an electric dehydrator or in the oven with the door open at a temperature of 40–45 degrees. Serve with herbs and sauce.
