Ukrainian Kutia (Kutya) Made With Cracked Wheat Cereal (Bulgur)

• 2/3 cup cracked whole wheat cereal
• 3 cups water
• 1/3 cup poppy seed
• 1 cup boiling water
• 2/3 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup slivered almonds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 cup whipping cream

1. Cook wheat in 3 cups water till tender on medium heat, about 1 hour. Keep an eye on it so the water does not evaporate. I usually find 30 minutes is enough and I don't need to drain it either.
2. Place cooked wheat, half at a time, in a blender container; cover and blend into a paste (I don't blend mine).
3. In small saucepan cook poppy seed in 1 cup boiling water till soft, about 10 minutes. Drain.
4. Mix together wheat paste, drained poppy seed, raisins, walnuts. Honey, almonds, and vanilla. Chill. Stir in unwhipped cream. Makes 4 cups.
