Delicious Stuffed Balls with Apricots

Delicious stuffed balls with apricots. Every bite of the Apricots Stuffed Balls delivers an exhilarating rush of flavour.

Ingredients:
12 apricots (small size)
250 grams cheese (fresh cow cheese)
50 grams semolina
Vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
60 grams flour
6 tsps coconut sugar

And for the “coating” you need:
100 grams bread crumbs
50 grams butter
2 tbsps poppy seed
2 tbsps sugar

How to do it

Step 1
Keep butter at room temperature for at least 1hour before starting or place it in the microwave for 20 second to warm it up. Stir the butter with sugar. Add the semolina, the cheese, a little vanilla and the egg yolk and knead everything together. Add flour and shape the mixture into a ball.
Let the dough rest in the fridge while you take the following steps.

Step 2
Start boiling water in a large pot.

Step 3
In a large pan, melt the butter, then add the bread crumbs and poppy seed and fry the mixture. Stir the mixture until it becomes a beautiful golden colour. Finally, add sugar and let the mixture rest, while you take the following steps.

Step 4
Split the apricots in two, remove the kernels and fill them with sugar (I used molasses)

Step 5
Take the dough out from the fridge and shape it into 12 balls, the size of a peach. Flatten the balls and place an apricot in the middle. Coat the apricots with the dough, making sure to cover the whole apricot! (see the picture)

Step 6
Add the balls to the boiling water. The water should boil without any bubbling.
Let them boil until they rise to the top.

Step 7
Take the balls out, one by one, and roll them in the bread crumbs.

Australia is Dropping Vegetables From Choppers to Feed Wildlife Starved by Fires

Australia has been going through some tough time with forest fires spreading all over the country and causing a severe loss of wildlife. In areas where the fire has stopped burning, the remaining animals are still struggling to find food and survive. Luckily, Australians have found an ingenious way to help animals in these hard times and started a rescue program that involves food dropped from helicopters.
Among the most affected are the wallabies and since they are left without their natural habitat, finding food is extremely hard for them. So, now the wallabies are showered with carrots and sweet potatoes that are being dropped from helicopters, this way staying safe and undisturbed. Of course, this is only a temporary solution but one that solves a major issue and ensures the survival of this species.
A lot of other animals are in danger of going extinct in Australia, so there is still a lot of work to do and everyone can get help by donating to organizations such as The World Wildlife Federation – Bushfire Emergency Fund, World Animal Protection, Animals Australia or WIRES Wildlife Rescue.

In New South Wales, thousands of kilograms of carrots and sweet potatoes are being dropped by planes and helicopters in fire-affected areas to help wildlife. (EPA-EFE/Shutterstock)

Life Finds A Way: Pictures After The Australian Bushfires

Humans don’t appreciate nature to its fullest, and in many cases, the beauty offered by Earth is taken for granted. Pollution and climate change are major issues in our times, and they have severe repercussions, but nature somehow always finds a way to recover.
The same thing applies to Australia’s forests, the might survivors of months of terrible bush fires that left the country mourning. Experts suspect that the bush won’t fully recover to its previous state, but signs of animals returning have been more than promising.
Thanks to years of evolution and arid climate, many Australian plants have adapted to the climate and learned how to protect their buds in case of high temperatures or even fire. This means that they will start to sprout soon and can even find nutrients in ash.
Pictures of green trees and plants among the ashes are circulating the Internet and they are once again proof that life is cyclic, and nature can recover after experiencing a traumatic event.
Hopefully, soon there will be more and more pictures like these, filled with hope and wildlife will return too to the Australian bush.
