During strawberry season, it's important to indulge in them until you're satisfied. And when you grow tired of enjoying them fresh, you can make aromatic pastries with strawberry and rhubarb. These pastries are also considered healthy as they are made with cottage cheese dough.

For this dough, both smooth cottage cheese and cottage cheese mass without filling will work, as well as homemade cottage cheese. I use homemade cottage cheese with high fat content. If you have the same kind of cottage cheese as me, you should strain it through a sieve or mash it well with a fork. If it's smooth - just mix it with the following ingredients.

Next, you need to slightly knead the dough with your hands until it becomes smooth and uniform in texture. While preparing the filling, you can put the dough in the refrigerator. If the filling is prepared in advance, there is no need to keep the dough cold.

For the filling, you need to take equal proportions of rhubarb and strawberries. Wash the rhubarb and remove the tough skin. It easily comes off in strips. Cut the peeled rhubarb into cubes no larger than 1 cm.

Transfer the chopped rhubarb to a saucepan, add water and sugar. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the rhubarb becomes soft and releases its juice. Drain the excess liquid and let the filling cool.

In a bowl, mix together the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch. If the strawberries are tart, increase the amount of sugar. You can replace cornstarch with potato starch, there is no significant difference.

Roll out the dough to a thickness of 5 mm. Cut circles approximately 10-12 cm in diameter using a small dish or cup (I used a 12 cm diameter).

Whisk the egg yolk with a drop of water and brush the pastries with it. You can also cover the pastries with beaten egg, in which case you don't need to add water. Bake the pastries in a preheated 180°C oven for 20-25 minutes. They will increase in size and turn golden brown. Since we place the pastries seam side down, the filling may leak, so I remind you once again to pinch the edges of the pastry securely.
