Kutia is a sweet grain pudding, traditionally served in Ukraine, Belarus, Russia and some parts of Poland. Sochivo, a dish similar to kutia, is very popular in Russia. ''Kutia'' is often the first dish in the traditional twelve-dish Christmas Eve supper (also known as ''Svyatah Vecherya''). It is rarely served at other times of the year. ==Description== It resembles ''koliva'' from Serbia or Romania (used usually for funerals), but the latter is mixed only with walnuts, sugar and raisins. ''Kutia'' was also part of a common Eastern Orthodox tradition in the Russian Empire, which had waned in popularity as a result of the official atheism of the former Soviet Union, but has had a subsequent resurgence in Ukraine, Belarus and other former Soviet Republics. ''Radonitsa'' is one such holiday during which it is served. To this day ''kutia'' is served at funerals across Russia as a dish of remembrance. Traditionally it was made of wheatberries, poppy seeds, honey, various nuts, dried fruit and raisins. In many recipes milk or cream is also used. In some Slavic countries, rice is the main ingredient. Nowadays, other ingredients (which were unavailable or just too expensive in earlier centuries) like almonds and pieces of oranges are added. In some places (like Poland, Ukraine, and western Canada), unprocessed wheat grain for ''kutia'' is easily available in stores. In others, where it is harder to find, it can be replaced by other similar grains like barley. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「kutia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
