KUTIA WIGILIJNA

     WIGILIA-6 - Christmas Eve Kutia

     This recipe could be used as part of a 12 course meal  known
     in Polish as Wigilia, or on its own.  Wigilia is eaten after
     sundown on Christmas Eve.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 4-6)
     1 cup     cracked wheat or bulgur
     2 cups    hot water
     1/2 cup   poppy seeds
     1 cup     honey
     2 cups    water
     1 tsp     salt
               festive spirits

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Soak wheat in 2 cups of hot water for 30  minutes.
               Bring to a boil and cook covered until tender.

          (2)  Mix in poppy seed.

          (3)  Cook honey with remaining 2 cups of water  for  20
               minutes.  Cool and serve with wheat and poppy seed
               mixture.

          (4)  For added enjoyment a liberal  amount  of  festive
               spirits  may  be  added.   In  Poland  the festive
               spirit is usually called Spiritus, which is  grain
               alcohol.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time:  1  hour.   Precision:  Approximate
     measurement OK.
