Cooking steps
The first thing to do is thoroughly wash the carrots under cold water and grate it. Then you need to put the carrots in the bowl of your slow cooker, add 50 g of butter and pour 1 cup of filtered water.
Carrots need to be extinguished, so on the slow cooker the “Steaming” mode is set for exactly 10 minutes. While carrots are stewed, proceed to the preparation of the curd mass.
Cottage cheese and carrot casserole in a slow cooker does not require crisp, but homogeneous cottage cheese, so you need to grind your cottage cheese in order to eventually get a dense curd mass. You can get this result using a blender or sieve. The resulting mass must be put in a bowl, and then sprinkled with sugar. After that, it is necessary to wash dried fruits or candied fruits, cut into slices and put in a bowl with cottage cheese.
At the next stage, it is necessary to carefully lay the cooked stewed carrots in a bowl with cottage cheese and berry mass, pour semolina here, then mix everything and beat in 2 chicken eggs. Then do not forget to mix everything thoroughly with a spatula again.
Well, that's it - the base for the casserole is ready, the rest of the work lies on the multicooker itself, but before putting the mixture you got into the multicooker, grease the bottom of the bowl with a piece of butter. The remaining 20 g of oil is enough for you to complete this procedure.
It is worth saying that over time the casserole is cooked in a slow cooker for about 40 minutes. After the “Baking” mode counts the set time, your faithful assistant will emit a sound signal, thereby making it clear that the carrot casserole in the multicooker is ready.
Fresh hot casserole looks very appetizing, but do not immediately get your culinary masterpiece from the multicooker, wait until the casserole has completely cooled down. If you hurry, you will get a lumpy mixture, and not a full-fledged dish. After the casserole has cooled completely, cut it into small pieces, which can additionally be decorated with powdered sugar or pieces of dried apricots or candied fruit. In addition, you can decorate the casserole with various berries, fruit slices or pour a little chocolate or glaze, so you will make your dish brighter and more refined. And now it remains only to bring it to the table with sour cream or kefir.

By the way, it is not necessary to prepare the base of the casserole from dried apricots and raisins, instead of these berries you can add various candied fruits or prunes. So, as was said above, this recipe makes it quite easy and simple to get such a healthy and tasty dish as cottage cheese and carrot casserole.
