Kutya with pineapple
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Although kutya is traditionally made from wheat, in our country it has long been common to prepare it with rice. As for the filling, you can get as creative as your imagination allows. The main principle is: the richer the kutya, the more prosperity the coming year will bring. Here's a version of kutya with canned pineapple. 1. Rinse the rice and cook it in plenty of water. It's important to have fluffy rice, so drain it in a colander and rinse with cold water. 2. Lightly toast the nuts in a dry skillet and chop them. Set aside a few nice walnut halves for garnishing the kutya. 3. Pour boiling water over the dried apricots and let them steep, then cut into pieces. Similarly, soak the poppy seeds for about 30 minutes. 4. Cut the canned pineapple into small cubes. 5. Mix the rice, poppy seeds, apricots, nuts, and pineapple. Add a mixture of honey and pineapple syrup. Garnish with the reserved walnut halves and serve. The ready dessert can now be served at the table.
