Kutia is an ancient food. It is wheat berries (whole wheat seeds) with poppy seeds, walnuts, and honey. However it's very easy to make using modern ingredients and conveniences.
Ingredients:
4 cups of wheat berries
1 can Solo Poppy Seed Filling
2 cups of walnuts, ground
2 cups honey, to taste; some prefer it sweeter, some prefer it not too sweet
Directions:
Rinse wheat berries, and let soak, covered in water, overnight if possible. Then cook in a slow-cooker on high for at least 3 hours, up to 8, keeping wheat covered, with water, until they are as cooked as you prefer...some like them 'al dente' {"to the tooth" in Italian}; others prefer the starch to come out of them. Then mix in other ingredients, to taste. Can be served hot or cold, and keeps well refrigerated for up to a week.
