Wheat berries boiled until they burst, stirred with ground poppy seed, honey and dried fruit — the first of the twelve dishes on Sviata Vecheria, and eaten before anything else.

Ukrainian · Christmas Eve — An ownerless traditional dish, so no cook is credited. The cited article confirms it as a ceremonial grain dish in syrup, the wheat, poppy seed and honey, and its place on the Christmas Eve table. Quantities and method are this book's own.

Étapes
Soak the wheat berries in cold water overnight, at least 8 hours.
Drain, cover with fresh water and the salt, and simmer 1 hour 30 minutes until the grains have burst and are tender but still separate.
Pour boiling water over the poppy seeds and leave 30 minutes, then drain and grind them to a grey paste.
💡 Ungrounded poppy seed just sits there like grit. Grinding is what releases the milk and the flavour — a mortar or a spice grinder both work.
Soak the raisins and apricots in warm water 20 minutes, then drain.
Warm the honey with 100 ml of the wheat cooking water until it pours easily.
Mix everything together in a large bowl and let it stand 2 hours before serving cool.
💡 Astuces
- Kutia is the first thing eaten on Sviata Vecheria, the Christmas Eve supper — the head of the household takes a spoonful before anyone else touches the table.
- The three ingredients each mean something: wheat for life, poppy seed for rest, honey for the sweetness of the world to come.
- It keeps five days in the fridge and the flavour improves for the first two.
