Creamy Wheat Berry Porridge
A spin-off of the traditional Ukrainian dish - Kutya - usually served during Christmas Eve supper. It is chewy, creamy and nutty and will keep you feeling full for many hours.
Ingredients
Directions
- Pick through the wheat berries to remove sticks and debris, rinse in cold water and place in a slow cooker, cover with 6 cups of water and set on slow for 6-8 hours.
- While the berries are on their last hour or so, cover the poppy seeds in about 1/2 cup of boiling water and let soak for 30 minutes. Drain poppy seeds and place in a blender with the sour cream. Pulse on high for 30 to 60 seconds, or until you can see that all the seeds are broken down in to small particles.
- While the poppy seeds are soaking, chop walnuts and toast on a piece of foil in the oven at 350 °F (175 °C) for 10 minutes. Let nuts cool while you are prepping the rest of the dish.
- Drain wheat berries, combine with poppy seed and sour cream mixture, add the Splenda, mix well until thoroughly combined. Sprinkle each serving with walnuts, serve warm.
- Note: one serving is about 1 cup of wheat berry mixture with approximately 1 tablespoon of chopped toasted nuts (pictured in the photo). You can substitute 4 tablespoons of honey or sugar for Splenda, but add that in to your calories.
- Note: wheat Berries can be found in the health food or bulk section of most supermarkets. If your store doesn't carry them check nearest Whole Foods or Trader Joe's.

I made this tonight for my dinner. It was a bit challenging draining the poppy seeds, and I don't think it made a difference any way. I won't soak them the next time, nor will I blend them in the blender - that didn't work for me either. I also used honey instead of splenda. In any case, this turned out to be quite tasty and I will definitely make it again. Thanks for sharing!

It's a bit time consuming, but worth it.
