Kutia
Wheat-flower and Honey Dessert
If sweetness had a name, it would be kutia. This wheat berry dessert is made so sweet that you won’t be able to eat more than a few mouthfuls.
A Slavic dish borrowed from our Ukrainian neighbors, kutia is sometimes called ‘God’s dish’. Traditionally, young Polish children were sent with offerings of kutia to their grandparents as a symbol of unity with older generations.
Filling and healthy with loads of nuts and poppy seeds, kutia is usually eaten at the start or end of the Christmas meal in Poland during Wigilia.
