ROMANIAN COLIVA OR BARLEY PORRIDGE



Romanian Coliva or Barley Porridge image

I finally managed to cook the traditional Romanian coliva, barley porridge. I used to make a lot another version of coliva made of boiled wheat (a bit more runny and with different flavours), my mum's Ukrainian recipe. This recipe I'm showing now has managed to impress me and not only me - it's a bit thicker, but you can clearly feel the wheat berries and the walnuts. The flavours blend in together perfectly and you mustn't forget about the coconut (it completes the flavour and the consistency with a final touch). I assembled it in a ring cake pan (of about 26-28 cm in diameter), but you can transfer it to smaller dishes as well, depending on what you need and want. This coliva recipe is another delicious discovery of the Romanian traditional cuisine - it's simple, tasty and vegan. show all description

Time 5h

Yield 3500 g (15-20 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 10

● Pearl barley 500 g
● Water 2 l
● Salt 1 tsp
● Sugar 350 g
● Walnuts 350 g
● Vanilla Extract 1 tsp
● Rum flavour 1 tsp
● Lemon zest 1 tsp
● Cinnamon powder 1 tsp
● Coconut flakes 100 g

Steps:

  • 1 Pour 2 litres of water and 1 tsp salt in a heavy-bottomed pot or in a Dutch oven and place over heat. You can also add 1 tbsp oil, so that the porridge won't stick to the pot. But if you have a good quality heavy- bottomed pot, this will not happen.
  • 2 Meanwhile, we have plenty of time to weigh the pearl barley and wash well 9 times or more. The last time you wash it, the water should be relatively clear.
  • 3 When the water comes to the boil, add in the washed barley right away. Stir well and, when it comes to the boil again, turn heat down.
  • 4 Cooking time may vary, but normally it should be ready in 40-45 minutes. This is halfway through the cooking process, there is some water left and the mixture is still liquid. Don't forget to stir the pot, less often at first and more intensely and frequently as it gets thicker.
  • 5 Here the porridge is ready, notice the wheat has soaked up all the water and the texture is denser.
  • 6 Now stir in the sugar, mix well. Cook for another 10 minutes, mixing frequently.
  • 7 Turn off heat. This was the boiling process.
  • 8 Let cool completely for 4-5 hours. Cover with plastic wrap/bag or with a wet kitchen cloth, so that it won't form a skin on top. Another tip is to scatter the chopped walnuts over the boiled wheat berries and let cool in the pot. In this case, there is no need for plastic wrap or cloth any more.
  • 9 When cooled, you'll notice the porridge is very dense and thick - that's the way it should be.
  • 10 I recommend chopping the walnuts not too finely, we want to feel some texture. Then add them to the porridge, along with the vanilla and rum extracts, grated lemon zest and cinnamon. Mix everything together, better to use your hands here, it's a thick mixture and using the spoon can be strenuous.
  • 11 Set the ring of the ring cake pan (without the bottom) on a plate and place the porridge inside.
  • 12 Press and even out with a spoon.
  • 13 Decorate the top with coconut flakes, walnuts, etc or you can dust with cocoa powder, like the traditional way. Because our coliva was for our personal desire and not for a special occasion, I kept it simple and I decorated it with walnut halves.
  • 14 Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours for the flavours to blend, then serve. For serving, I sliced it, just like a cake and it held together pretty well. Enjoy!

ROMANIAN COLIVA RECIPE - (3.3/5)



Romanian Coliva Recipe - (3.3/5) image

Provided by ras01ny

Number Of Ingredients 12

Wheat Kernels - 1 kg wheat (2 lb. 3.27 oz)
Sugar - 250 g (8.81849 oz)
Honey - 150 g (5.29109 oz)
Water to cover the kernels
Crushed Walnuts - 240 g (8.46575 oz)
Crushed graham crackers as needed
Powdered sugar as needed
Vanilla
fine zest from 1 lemon
Fine zest from 1 orange
Turkish Delight
Milk Chocolate or Cocoa Powder - 100 g (3.52739 oz)

Steps:

  • Wash the wheat kernel with nine waters (one for each of the 9 angel squads in heaven) then boil in a Teflon pot for 2-3 hours at medium heat. Stir thoughtfully with a wooden spoon to prevent the wheat from sticking to the bottom of the pot. When boiled, put content into an enameled pot and covered with a wet towel, so that the composition won't form a "crust." Sweeten the composition with 250 g sugar and 150 g honey. Flavor with zest from one lemon and one orange and with 1 TBS vanilla. Add 200 g of the crushed walnuts and stir till all these extra ingredients incorporate in the wheat composition evenly. Your coliva is now almost ready - all it needs is the décor that will make it fit for the liturgy. Place the composition on a large platter and form the coliva with your hands, respecting its shape - make sure you even the coliva to look like a cake. Coliva can take any form: rectangular, oval or round, and sometimes even "cross." With the rest of the crushed walnuts and crushed graham crackers cover the coliva on the top and the sides. Add powder sugar and then make your ornaments out of chocolate and candy. You can even use half walnuts to form a cross or to ornate the sides of the coliva. Coliva is very delicious, and many people choose to eat it on occasions other than those related to death. If you want to do so, simply skip the shaping and decorating.

ROMANIAN COZONAC OR COLAC - A CHRISTMAS BREAD



Romanian Cozonac or Colac - a Christmas Bread image

At Christmas time Romanian mothers readied the dough for baking these delicious breads with a variety of fillings. The smells of Cozonac baking would stir my senses. As a little girl, I knew there would be merriment and lots of good food. On Christmas Eve, relatives and their friends with musical instruments moved from house to house in the large Romanian community where I grew up. They would serenade us with Romanian Christmas songs and my mother would lay out Cozonac, Placinta with apples or sweetened cottage cheese, yeast doughnuts with lemon curd filling, and other lovely Old World style baking. There would be fresh sarmale (cabbage rolls), mititea, (sausage), pickled cucumbers, liquors and liqueurs, and home made wine. If families could afford it, money was also given to the carollers which would be divided between them at the end of their carolling. The feast was the carollers' reward for bringing joy in our homes, and was my signal that Mosu Craciun (Father Christmas) was about to arrive. The carollers moved throughout the Romanian community all night, during Christmas Eve, until dawn. I would sneak out of bed to watch the muscicians and listen to the carols. When they were gone I was sent to my bed, but quietly sneaked a peek to watch my parents put out the few toys for the youngest children and stockings filled with fruit nuts and cookies for the elders, and perhaps new mittens and socks. I was the eldest girl. There are many variations of fillings for the Cozonac. The basic dough does not vary much.
