👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
Cook the wheat: Combine the rinsed wheat berries and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the wheat is tender but still has a slight chew. Drain any excess water.

Prepare the dried fruits: While the wheat is cooking, soak the dried apricots, prunes, and raisins in warm water for about 15-20 minutes to soften them. Drain well.
- 3
Prepare the poppy seeds: If using whole poppy seeds, grind them using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder until they release their oils and become a paste-like consistency. This step is crucial for releasing their flavor and texture.

Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked wheat berries, softened dried fruits, chopped walnuts, ground poppy seeds, and honey. If using, add the candied orange peel. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.

Chill and serve: Cover the Kutia and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a dessert or a festive dish.
