Potato-and-curd dumplings with strawberries

Summer is here, and with it ripening strawberries. A simple 20-minute recipe that delights the sweetest tooth.

Ingredients

• 250 g potato dumpling powder
• 250 g soft curd cheese (the block kind, not the tub)
• strawberries (for filling and garnish)
• sugar, butter and curd for garnish

Method

1. Mix the potato dumpling powder with water per the instructions into a supple dough; work in the curd cheese (a sticky dough is fine).
2. Shape the dough into a log and cut equal pieces so the dumplings cook evenly.
3. Round each piece, press into a disc, push a strawberry into the middle and wrap it up.
4. Steam the dumplings for 5 minutes — steaming cooks the dough through without it falling apart.
5. Meanwhile simmer some strawberry pieces for a garnish. Serve topped with butter, sugar, strawberries or curd.
