If you like hiking, you probably know,how much time and energy can take the day's march. And these forces is required to make up, because tomorrow again on the road. The most common meal - this porridge with canned food, because it is hearty and stored for a long time. But you must admit, the monotony of boring. Add a novelty in the camp diet helped me a love of history and the absence of a pizza delivery in Kiev (http://ekipazh-service.com.ua/zp/dostavka-piccy-na-dom.html) - In view of the fact that deaf forest this »food of the gods» no one gives. I learned about Kuleshov, a hearty stew, mention of which is often found in the description of the life of the Zaporozhye Cossacks.

In the original gruel made from salty bacon,wheat, onions and carrots. All these products are stored for a long time and does not deteriorate even during the week. And though potatoes Cossacks did not know and did not use, I decided that it would make gruel only better. Since it was necessary to feed 6 adults and hungry eaters, and the cauldron was used, and a lot of great products.

So, in order to prepare a tasty and nourishing gruel for 6 people you will need:
300-400g salted lard;
400-500g millet;
10 medium potatoes;
3-4 bulbs of medium size;
2-3 medium carrots.

Salt, pepper and other spices and seasonings that you have in the campaign:
1. Clear the fat from the salt, cut in small pieces and lay in a cauldron with water. Kazan put on fire.
2. When the bacon is fully cooked and the water becomes richness, laying the finely chopped onions and carrots
3. Once again, everything starts to boil laying brushed and chopped potatoes. We look forward to a boil and salt to taste.
4. When the potatoes are almost cooked, fall asleep millet. For 5-10 minutes until cooked add the pepper and other spices that are available.
5. After the kettle was removed from the heat, give Kuleshov stand for 10-15 minutes, and then quickly grab a bowl and a spoon and quench your hunger.

Cold gruel some loses in the taste, so you should eat it hot. Bon Appetit!
