Kutya Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare Wheatberries

   Rinse the wheatberries under cold water. In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed wheatberries and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45-60 minutes, or until the grains are tender but still chewy.

2. 2

   Prepare Poppy Seed Mixture

   While the wheatberries are cooking, toast the poppy seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   Once the wheatberries are cooked, drain any excess water and return them to the pot. Stir in the toasted poppy seeds, honey or maple syrup, chopped almonds, dried fruits, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Mix well to combine all ingredients.

4. 4

   Add Vanilla and Serve

   Finally, stir in the vanilla extract. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional almonds or dried fruits if desired.
