Kutya

250ml wheat kernels, cleaned and picked over

1500ml water

60ml honey (dissolved in boiling water)

60ml Poppy Seed

60ml Chopped Walnuts

Spread the wheat on a baking sheet and place in a 120° C (250° F) oven to dry for an hour.

Wash the wheat in cold water and soak overnight.

The next day, bring 6 to 8 cups of water to a boil with a pinch of salt and simmer the wheat for 3 to 4 hours, until the kernels burst and the liquid has thickened.

Meanwhile, scald the poppy seed and drain it. Place in a small saucepan, cover again with water and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Drain, and put through a food grinder twice.

Combine the honey and boiling water. Stir the honey mixture, poppy seed and chopped walnuts into the cooled wheat mixture. Refrigerate. Serve cold.
