Kulesh over the campfire
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Kulesh is very simple to make. You can cook it at home, but kulesh cooked over an open fire tastes much better and more aromatic, with a smoky flavor. Plus, it's hard to resist the pleasure of spending time in nature with friends or family. The finished dish can be served at the table.
