7. Cheese porridge
Place 300 g of fat sour cream in a saucepan with a thick bottom and bring to a boil. While it is heating up, mash 200 g of fresh Ossetian cheese with a fork. Add it to boiling sour cream. Stirring constantly, add a pinch of salt and a glass of corn flour. Cook, stirring constantly, until creamy. Cheese porridge should be viscous and elastic.
