Kulesh with millet lard

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook millet kulesh with lard? Place a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. Place millet, washed until clean, into boiling water and cook.

2. STEP 2

   

   While the millet is cooking, wash, peel and cut the potatoes into cubes. They should not be too large so that they have time to cook while the millet is being cooked. But there is no need to grind them either.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add the potatoes to the pan with the cooking millet, stir and continue cooking over medium heat. If the water in the pan is boiling too hot, you can reduce the heat a little.

4. STEP 4

   

   While the soup is cooking, cut the lard into cubes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash the onions and carrots, peel and cut into small cubes. Those who wish can grate the carrots on a medium or coarse grater.

6. STEP 6

   

   Fry the lard in a frying pan without oil until golden brown. Add chopped onions and carrots. Lightly fry the vegetables with lard, stirring. It will be enough when the onion changes color to golden.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add lard and vegetables to the soup. Add salt and pepper to taste. Boil the soup until the potatoes are completely cooked.

8. STEP 8

   

   When the kulesh is ready, add chopped fresh parsley to it. Wash and dry the parsley first. Bon appetit!

For the first course I decided to make kulesh with millet lard. For this I wanted to use smoked breast, but at the last moment I wanted to prepare a light, lean version, and did not add it. I first poured boiling water over the millet (to remove the bitterness), let it stand for a couple of minutes, drained the water, washed the grain and sent it to cook. Next I added the potatoes, cut into small cubes. I chopped the onions and carrots, did not fry them, but added them straight to the soup raw. I also added dried parsley to the boiling dish. I purposely made the soup very thick, just because I wanted it. The result was a light, tasty soup. Even the children appreciated it! Anna, thanks for the recipe!
