Banosh (Ground Corn Dish)

banosh

Banosh is the most delicious ground corn dish made with lots of thick sour cream and served with rich sheep cheese (bryndza), frangrant fried mushrooms, sautéed onions, and crunchy pork crackling (shkvarky). It is the signature porridge of the Carpathians, from the mountain region of Ukraine, where local shepherds (Hutsuls) make it over an open fire.

The authentic recipe of banosh is quite complex and enshrined in tradition: e.g. shepherds claim you should only stir the corn clockwise and with a wooden spoon, you must use exclusively fresh Carpathian cheese, and you cannot serve the dish on anything apart from authentic Carpathian plates. 

Yet, I believe that you can challenge the shepherds and make a scrumptious banosh at home. Shall we try it?
