GOURYEVSKAYA KASHA

 

Ingredients:

1 c semolina

2 1/2 c milk

2 tb butter

2 tb sugar

2 c dense cream

2/3 c nuts

2 c canned fruits

1/2 c sugar

1/2 ea lemon

vanilla

salt

 

 

Method:

Take a not very deep pan. Put cream (must be dense) into the hot oven. As soon as there is a pink skin on the cream, take it carefully away on the plate. Be careful not to tear. Do it until you have 6-7 skins. Boil a viscous kasha (mush) on milk. Add butter, sugar (2 tb), vanilla, salt and mix very well. Put kasha into the oven to warm up for 30 minutes. Add the rest of baked cream to kasha. Nuts caramelizing: nuts must be caramelized otherwise kasha will be grey and not have a very good taste. Nuts must be tempered (fired) at first. Then put in a very hot water for 10 minutes. After that take the skins off and dry and chop them. Put sugar (1/2 c) in the pan on the heat, add lemon juice, wait until red colour and add nuts. As soon as nuts are caramelized, take them out and let cool down. Prepare a baking form. Grease it with butter. Put a little kasha as first layer, then a skin and nuts, chopped canned fruits. Repeat it until all the skins are used. The last layer is made of kasha. Decorate with sugar, fruits and nuts and put the form into the hot oven for 10-20 minutes. Gouryevskaya Kasha is served with apricot puree or any fruit juice.

All allergies aside, I would give this dish a try.

I would most definitely eat it.  I would hate to have to prepare it though!

It sounds a little rich for me...though I would at least taste it.

I would only try if really desperate or hungry. Kasha without meat balls and sauce? Not in my book. :-)

id try it even though it dont look too nice

*bumps*

Nah, I'd pass.  It sounds more like a fancy dessert than a dish.

Yeah, I'd eat it, but only if someone else took the time to make it...hee hee...

I would definitely give this a go! It doesn't have offal in it, so I can't see what I wouldn't like about it.
