Cossack spirit and traditions live in millet kulesh. Rich kulesh: recipes for a Slavic dish! We prepare different types of kulesh according to recipes with millet, buckwheat, bacon, vegetables, mushrooms

16.08.2019 Restaurant notes

The famous Ukrainian kulesh is perhaps the most democratic dish I know of. This means that the ingredients from which it is prepared can be very diverse. The recipes themselves may differ. This is due to the fact that kulesh is, so to speak, a marching dish. It was cooked both by the Zaporozhye Cossacks during their military campaigns, and by the Chumaks, whose carts laden with salt crawled along the ancient trade routes for many days. In other words, what food people managed to get was then sent to the cauldron. The main task for warriors or travelers was to make the resulting kulesh more adventurous and ensure the maintenance of forces on a long journey. Fortunately, you and I have a much wider choice of products than the ancient Ukrainians, and therefore, while observing the basic traditions, we will try to make our kulesh not only hearty and rich, but also extremely tasty. So, I am telling you the recipe for kulesha.

Ingredients:

(4-6 servings)

  • 400 g baked bacon
  • 1 tbsp. millet groats
  • 3 onions
  • 1 carrot
  • 4-5 potatoes
  • 4 things. chicken eggs
  • 4-5 cloves of garlic
  • celery, parsley
  • 4-5 pcs. bay leaves
  • ground black pepper
  • 2 p. water
  • vegetable oil
  • Before proceeding directly to the description of the process of cooking kulesh, I would like to say a few words about the dishes. Of course, a cast-iron or copper cauldron or cauldron is the traditional dish for making Ukrainian kulesh. In it, the dish is cooked from start to finish, and you will not need any other utensils. However, not everyone in the modern kitchen will find just such a cauldron. That is why in my recipe I will divide the process into two parts: I will cook the frying in a frying pan, and I will carry out all the further steps in an enamel pan.
  • We begin to prepare the frying. To do this, the bacon is set into small cubes about one and a half to one and a half centimeters in size. Using smoked bacon for kulesh, or, as it is also called in Ukraine "loin", I kill two birds with one stone. Firstly, I significantly reduce the cooking time (there is no need to wait until the meat is cooked). Secondly, I give the kulesh a unique aroma of smoked meats, that is, the smoke from the fire.
  • So, we send the diced bacon to the pan and lightly fry it. To start frying, you can drip a little vegetable oil into the pan, and only then the aromatic pork fat is removed from the bacon.
  • Add finely chopped onion to the bacon that has released the fat, and lightly fry it until the first light golden hue appears.
  • Add the carrots grated on a coarse grater to the pan to the bacon and onions. While stirring, let the carrots brown slightly.
  • The frying is ready. We transfer it to a saucepan.
  • Pour two liters of clean drinking water into a saucepan. Better to use spring or filtered water. We put the pan on fire.
  • While the contents of the pan begin to boil, we sort out the millet and, of course, rinse it. Some housewives wash millet up to seven times. Personally, I advise, instead of many water procedures in cold water, to carry out only one, but with the use of boiling water. I assure you, the result will be no worse, and most importantly, you will save a lot of time. By the way, millet is the most common type of cereal used in kulesh, but, as I said at the beginning, this dish is a dish of wanderers and travelers, and therefore it perfectly tolerates various variations. All this I am leading to the fact that kulesh can be cooked not only with millet, but also with buckwheat, barley and other cereals.
  • Pour the washed millet groats into a saucepan.
  • Following the cereals, we send finely chopped potatoes to cooking. Of course, the ancient Ukrainians used all sorts of other edible roots for the richness of the kulesh, but we, modern people, perhaps, should not experiment, especially when such a wonderful tuber as a potato is available.
  • At this stage of cooking, our kulesh needs to be salt and add bay leaf and pepper to it. We determine the amount of salt and pepper according to our own taste.
  • While the kulesh is boiling, let's prepare a filling for it. To do this, beat four eggs in a separate bowl. Beat without fanaticism, but simply to mix the yolk and white and turn them into a homogeneous mass.
  • Finely chop the greens. I always use celery leaves or a mixture of them with parsley. It is celery that gives the kulesh a unique fragrant aroma.
  • Pour the chopped greens into a vessel with an egg mash. Add finely chopped or crushed garlic there. Mix the mixture well. That's all, the filling is ready, now you just have to wait for the potatoes and millet to cook in the kulesh.
  • After we have determined that the potatoes and millet are boiled, or better slightly boiled (this will happen after 20 minutes from the beginning of boiling), pour our green filling into the boiling kulish and immediately mix the whole volume very well.
  • The egg will curl up right before our eyes, and the kulesh will thicken to the state of either a very thick soup or a thin porridge. This is its correct consistency. We cover the pan with a lid and let the kulesh ripen for 3-5 minutes. After that, the dish is completely ready.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and place the hot fragrant kulesh on deep plates, bowls or bowls. Sprinkle fresh herbs on top of the dish. That's all. Good appetite. Enjoy Ukrainian kulesh and gain strength, vigor and health.

Kulesh is deservedly considered a masterpiece of Ukrainian cuisine. In terms of popularity, it is inferior, perhaps, to Ukrainian borscht. Kulesh appeared on the tables at the suggestion of the Zaporozhye Cossacks, who cooked it during hikes and long trips, since this dish did not require any special conditions, no exact recipe, or special culinary skills.

Later, it spread throughout Ukraine and even won fans in neighboring countries. Today kulesh or, as it is popularly called, "field soup", is an indispensable attribute of picnics and gatherings around the fire.

One of the surprisingly tasty and quick-to-prepare dishes that "came" to us from Ukrainian cuisine is millet kulesh. Its recipe is so popular that, perhaps, only Ukrainian borscht is ahead of it in popular love.

The first to start preparing kulesh were the Cossacks on their long campaigns. Due to the monotony of the provisions, we had to come up with a tasty, satisfying and nutritious dish "in a hurry". So the recipe for kulesha appeared, which does not require time expenditures, culinary skills and any special conditions for preparing a dish.

Nowadays, kulesh is an indispensable attribute of any hike or friendly gatherings around the fire. But even in your own kitchen you can cook a dish that will be no different from the "field" option. Today we will look at both cooking methods: on the stove and on the fire.

Kulesh. Homemade recipe

The classic recipe includes only two main ingredients: millet and lard. But if you wish, you can diversify the recipe with other products: potatoes, meat, mushrooms, vegetables, fresh herbs, etc.

Essential ingredients for a classic recipe

You need to prepare:

  • 100 g of millet.
  • A couple of small onions.
  • 200 g of salted lard.
  • 5 potatoes.
  • Carrots - 1pc.
  • Spices.
  • Fresh herbs.

You also need water - 2 liters.

How to cook

Set the pot with two liters of water on high heat and wait for the liquid to boil. At this time, it is necessary to rinse the groats. Pour millet into a deep plate and place it under the tap. Pour half the volume of water and begin to drain it little by little from one edge so that the millet does not float away with the water. Pour water again, rinsing the millet. For two or three washes, the cereal completely gets rid of unnecessary and unnecessary impurities and dust.

It is important to remember that any recipe for making kulesh requires adding cereal only to boiling water. Along with cereals, a pinch of salt and bay leaf are added. The cooking time for cereals is about 20 minutes.

Before the end of the cooking time, add the potato cubes to the pan. Now you can turn down the heat and simmer the dish until cooked.

While the potatoes are languishing, you can start cooking frying. For a kulesha recipe, you need one onion and one small carrot. The vegetables are cut into small cubes. Put the pork lard cut into long cubes in a frying pan. Fry it until a crispy, dark brown crust appears. Now you can add vegetables to the fat. As soon as they are golden, transfer the contents of the pan to a pan with millet and potatoes.

A couple more minutes and the fire can be turned off. When serving the dish, you can add one spoonful of sour cream and fresh herbs.

Kulesh with mushrooms and meat

Of course, kulesh is considered real, consisting of a handful of millet, roots and spring water. However, modern chefs have learned to competently add other ingredients to this dish that do not spoil it, but only make it more satisfying and tasty.

We offer the second recipe for kulesha. Even a novice housewife can cook it at home. The classic recipe is complemented by aromatic wild mushrooms and hearty pork. And herbs and spices can be added at your discretion and desire.

Ingredients for the dish

  • Three large potatoes.
  • 240 g of mushrooms.
  • 150 g millet.
  • Pork - 250 g.
  • One onion.
  • A handful of freshly chopped parsley.
  • Two liters of water.
  • Salt.
  • Spices for meat.
  • A pinch of ground black pepper.

And also a bay leaf.

Cooking method

The old recipe for kulesha required cereals and roots to be cooked in different containers. Today, you can not adapt to traditions and significantly save time on cooking by boiling cereals and potatoes together.

Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. We wash the millet several times in a plate filled with running water. We send cereals and vegetables to boil over high heat for ten minutes. Do not forget to throw a couple of bay leaves, peppercorns and a pinch of salt into the pan. Then we reduce the heat on the stove and simmer the kulesh for another fifteen minutes.

While potatoes and millet are boiling on one burner, put a frying pan on the other and fry onions with meat and mushrooms on it. If store-bought frozen or fresh mushrooms were taken for the dish, then no cooking is required. If for cooking you bought or collected aromatic forest mushrooms with your own hands, then it is recommended to boil them for 40-60 minutes before frying.

We send the fried meat, onions and mushrooms to the pan, where the millet has already been cooked and the potatoes have become soft and crumbly. All that remains is to turn off the heat, cover the container with a lid and let the dish brew a little. The last stage is filing. Put thick kulesh into portioned plates, seasoning it with a couple of sprigs of fresh parsley and a spoonful of thick homemade sour cream.

Kulesh at the stake

A separate topic is a real marching kulesh cooked in a pot over a fire. A recipe with a photo will help novice housewives to properly prepare a dish. It should be noted that the cooking process will differ slightly from the home version. Since there is no way to place several containers of brew at once on the fire, you have to adapt to the situation.

Essential products for a travel cooler

Take with you:

  • 220 g millet.
  • 2 pcs. Luke.
  • 1 PC. - carrot.
  • 4 things. - potato.
  • Pork lard - 200 g.
  • Chives with feathers, parsley, dill - whatever greens you have on hand.
  • Salt.
  • Spices.

You also need a bay leaf.

Description of the cooking process

Perhaps you should not focus on the process of collecting firewood, laying out a fireplace, starting a fire and forming an impromptu stove. Let's just say that the heat under the pot must be strong enough in the first stages of cooking.

So, since we do not have at hand several burners on which we could cook and fry food at the same time, we slightly change the recipe for kulesh. We start the cooking process not with boiling cereals, but with frying bacon. Cut the lard into small cubes and place them on the bottom of the pot. As soon as the lard gives fat, add finely chopped onions and carrots to it. At this moment, do not go far from the fire, as a strong, almost uncontrollable fire under the pot fries everything very quickly. Stir the cracklings and vegetables constantly.

As soon as the frying is ready, pour water into the pot and pour the millet. Mix thoroughly and cover with a lid. Cook the cereal for about fifteen minutes. During this time, the potatoes can be peeled and diced. We make the fire under the pot a little smaller (by removing or simply moving some of the burning coals to the side) and put the potatoes in the dish. In a low heat, simmer the dish for about 10-15 minutes, remove the pot from the fire, pour a large amount of fresh herbs into the container and, closing the lid again, let it rest and brew a little.

"Delicious" facts

  • In some traditional families, vegetables and meat ingredients are cooked separately and millet is cooked separately. At the last moment, the ingredients combine and the fire is immediately turned off.
  • The dish is a fairly thick and rich soup. A tasty and satisfying kulesh can replace the second and first course.
  • Traditionally, lard must be present in the recipe for millet kulesha, but lately, cooks have been replacing it with sausages, beef fat or chicken fillet.
  • Chilled kulesh can be stored in the refrigerator for more than two days.
  • If you want to cook a lean dish, then instead of lard, mushrooms are put in the kulesh, and frying is done without adding oil.
