Hot dishes are the basis of every family’s diet. There are hundreds and thousands of such home cooking options in every kitchen in the world. Meat, vegetable, cereal and mixed, with herbs and sauces, from a steamer, oven, slow cooker, and just from the stove.
The main hot dishes are cooked with milk, water and broths. For vegetarians, it is a source of fiber, carbohydrates and protein, for meat eaters – a carbohydrate side dish. Sauces, gravies, cutlets and fried meat (or baked), stews are served with them. To warm up the porridge, present it in a new way, bake it in the oven under cheese, interspersed with vegetable or meat layers (or both, it tastes better this way).
Meat is a mandatory “moment” of the men’s menu. It is fried in oil and fat, baked in an oven, stewed in pots or a slow cooker (often with potatoes and other nightshade or roots). The second hot dishes of chicken, beef, pork, lamb and game are delicious at home with fresh salads, and mashed potatoes, pasta and potatoes are suitable for them from warm (although doctors say that these products are poorly absorbed by the body in a pair).
Zucchini, eggplant, pumpkin, potatoes, tomatoes, a variety of cabbage, onions, carrots and beets are the base of excellent recipes “for after soup”.

Kulesh is a dish that has become widespread among the Cossacks. It was prepared in the field, it replaced the first and second. The obligatory components of the classic kulesh are millet groats and lard. The rest is what it is. Too much time has passed, and kulesh has changed, falling in love with many people. Well, what kind of May holidays without kulesh and kebabs! Unfortunately, this year it will not be possible to get out into nature (my husband is working). So I decided to cook porridge at home in a slow cooker and experiment with the components. It turned out very tasty! If you also fail with nature or the weather, try my kulesh.
Why “a la”? Well, for the first, real porridge cooked on fire in a cauldron, for the second – without potatoes and bacon. The weather is lousy, and I miss nature, kebabs and… Kulesh. In general, this is the most budget and fastest option, my friends and I have been preparing it since our student days. Today I decided to cook it at home and in a regular saucepan.
Millet plus potatoes is a dish that is called differently in different localities. Grandma called this dish “Kulesh”. It is very easy and fast to feed them with this dish, which is expensive at the dacha. We will need a minimum of food and very little time – while the flakes are cooking.
The war, the front, I’m… cooking? The items seem to be difficult to match. Everyone has their own: one in the trench – breadcrumbs soaked in a stream, the other in the office – a delicacy specially brought from the capital by plane… When guns speak, the muses, apparently, must remain silent. Including Colin, the patron saint of chefs. But, as the Russian people say, as you fall, you will drown. In other words, war is war, and lunch is on schedule. And today, when interest in the culinary side of our life has increased dramatically, there is almost no one to tell that a Russian soldier, like two hundred years ago, could cook porridge even with an axe, and his gastronomic savvy was matched by the ability to beat the enemy. This is one of the most widely used recipes during the war. Kulesh is a thick soup or not very thick, but very satisfying porridge.
You need to take a walk with the children, manage in the garden, and even a hungry husband will come for lunch… So, today we are cooking outdoors. Yes, yes, don’t be surprised. Who knows, but in our Kuban winter is now such that the buds on the trees are blooming! Therefore, I bring to your attention a common dish – kulesh. The products are simple, we cook according to all the rules – in a pot and on fire!
My grandmother always said that kulesh should be cooked “with a soul and slowly.” And today I realized the secret of this delicious dish. I’ve always cooked according to this recipe, but today it turned out especially delicious. I did everything slowly and in the very warm company of our friends. My husband gave me this name. After the first spoonful he said: “This is a real kulesh!”
Of course, it does not apply to fine cuisine, but in order to diversify your diet with everyday dishes, it will fit perfectly! It is very quickly prepared, satisfying and delicious!
I was looking for a recipe for meat that could be eaten both hot and cold, sliced and in the form of a sandwich in the morning for breakfast, an alternative to sausage. Everything was something special, this one was the perfect embodiment of my desire! Tender, fragrant meat, the taste of which can be slightly changed from time to time depending on the destination, is actually cooked very quickly, although it requires marinating for at least a day. You can cook both chicken and turkey.
The recipe is very simple, the products are the most common, but the output is such a balanced dish with melting meat and excellent onion sauce. The dish turns out to be very fragrant and delicious! The main dish here is beer and cumin!
