The 'Starokievskaya' porridge with calf brains and mushrooms is a true reflection of the richness and uniqueness of Ukrainian cuisine. Its roots go back to ancient times when dishes were prepared with care for rich flavor and nutritional value. The base is aromatic buckwheat groats, infused with the rich taste of white mushrooms and the tender texture of calf brains. The light sweetness of sautéed onions complements the ensemble, giving the porridge softness and depth. The final touch is butter and a fried egg, creating a harmonious taste and appetizing appearance. The dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a gathering where tradition and refined taste are valued.
