A healthy and tasty cottage cheese casserole with dried apricots in a slow cooker is ready! Enjoy your meal!

In principle, cottage cheese goes well with all dried fruits. But, since we have a dietary dish, it is better to choose the product with the lowest glycemic index (GI). For raisins, it is 65, and for prunes and dried apricots, it is about the same - about 30.

Let me remind you that the glycemic index reflects the effect of foods on the change in blood sugar levels after eating them. So, GI up to 40 is low.

I also make this casserole with prunes, but I get bored with this taste faster. But with dried apricots - no. In addition, with her the casserole acquires a beautiful golden-amber color :)

So, you will need the following ingredients:

1 cup dried apricots

0.5 teaspoon salt

mold oil

I will especially note that there is not a single gram of sugar and flour in the composition.

Preparation:

Rinse dried apricots well. If dry - steam or pour boiling water for 15 minutes. Chop finely.

Add the egg, semolina and salt to it.

Add cottage cheese. Fat content - optional. This time I have 18%. If you wish, you can take it completely fat-free. The casserole does not suffer from this - checked! If the curd is good, homogeneous, without lumps, you do not need to wipe it through a sieve.

Since the ingredients are all started together, it is important to mix the mass thoroughly until smooth.

Grease the bottom and sides of the mold with vegetable or butter. Put the resulting mass in it, distribute it evenly.

My shape is small - rectangular, 18 x 25 cm. The casserole is low and bakes well.

Grease on top with low-fat sour cream (I have 20%). If there is no sour cream, it doesn't matter, it will be delicious without it :)

Put the mold in a preheated oven, bake for about 40 minutes at 180 degrees. Make sure that the top does not burn. Put the prepared casserole on a board or dish.

Divide into portions and enjoy the taste! :)

The casserole will appeal to those who are not spoiled for sweets. I started to gradually reduce the amount of sugar in my baked goods when my mother was diagnosed with diabetes. And now she refused it at all in some dishes. Now I can't even imagine why sugar is needed here! :)

Last week a friend came to visit, I treated him to just such a casserole. I forgot to tell you that it is sugar free. I remembered when we already ate it)) He said that it was very tasty and did not even think about sugar - is it there or not.

Now this is one of my favorite recipes - it turns out quickly, tasty and healthy!
