Strumbys
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I suggest making strumby—dumplings in a lighter version. The dish is very tasty, juicy, and aromatic! You can boil strumby in salted water and serve with sour cream, or first fry them and then simmer in sauce. Either way, your family will surely appreciate this simple yet delicious recipe. Serve hot.

Step 14

Bring the sauce to a boil and place the strumbas in the skillet. If the skillet is large, arrange them in a single layer; if not, you can place the strumbas overlapping each other. Add more water if necessary— it should almost completely cover the contents of the skillet. Simmer the dish over low heat, covered, for 30 minutes.

The ready strumbas should swell, increase in size, and be saturated with the flavor and aroma of the sauce. Serve the strumbas hot, sprinkled with fresh herbs.
