👨‍🍳 조리법

1. 1

   Rinse the wheat berries thoroughly under cold water. Place them in a saucepan with 600ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until tender and most of the water is absorbed. Drain any excess water.

   ⏱️ 1 hour
2. 2

   While the wheat is cooking, prepare the poppy seeds. Pour boiling water over the poppy seeds in a bowl, cover, and let them soak for about 30 minutes. Drain the water thoroughly.

   ⏱️ 30 minutes
3. 3

   Grind the soaked poppy seeds using a mortar and pestle or a food processor until they release their milky liquid. This process can take some time.

   💡 전문가 팁: Alternatively, you can use pre-ground poppy seeds, but soaking and grinding fresh ones yields a better texture and flavor.
4. 4

   In a large bowl, combine the cooked wheat berries, ground poppy seeds, honey, and chopped toasted walnuts. If using, add raisins and orange zest.

5. 5

   Mix all ingredients well until thoroughly combined. Taste and add more honey or a little sugar if you prefer it sweeter.

   💡 전문가 팁: The consistency should be moist but not soupy. Adjust with a little warm water or more honey if needed.
6. 6

   Transfer the kutia to a serving dish. It can be served immediately or chilled.
