Guriev kasha

Guriev kasha

Guriev kasha is rich flavoured porridge (usually semolina) pudding with fruits, nuts and cream layers. There is no only one recipe though. It is believe that kasha was named after its first admirer and promoter, Count Guriev, Russian Minister of Finance under Alexander I, and a renowned gastronome. Having many variations (depending on the ingredients), it is a very typical Russian meal though. Cooking Guriev kasha means stewing in an oven all the ingredients separately and then the ready meal.

Ingredients:

Preparation:

Slice fruit and boil in sugar liquor for some minutes. Take the fruit out and drain the syrup. Caramelize (put in boiling sugar syrup) the nuts and let them dry. Pour most of the cream in a bowl, put on low heat, and skim the skin into a plate. Add semolina to the remaining cream, boil it into a liquid condition, add crushed caramelized nuts, almonds, sugar, and stir. Make a pastry border on a dish; put a 3-4 layers of skin, a layer of kasha. The top layer can be caramelized with gas-burner, topped with fruit, jam and nuts. Almost ready kasha is then put in the oven to make it warm. Serve warm, not hot.
