CHEF'S NOTES
Kutia is a symbol of fertility and abundance on the Ukrainian table. It is a traditional component of the Ukrainian Christmas Eve meal of 12 meatless dishes. It is generally served cold.
Some people like their kutia sweeter, in which case you can add sugar or some additional honey.
For an updated, though non-traditional, version, you can add some citrus zest, dried fruit, almonds or other nuts.
