Mushroom Kuba

Preheat the oven to 180 ºC. Grease a baking dish or casserole dish with 1 tablespoon of lard.

Rinse the groats thoroughly, place them in a pot, pour in 1.5 liters of water, add a teaspoon of salt, cook until tender, and drain. Soak the dried mushrooms in water, squeeze out the water before use, and chop them coarsely. Finely chop the onion. Peel and press the garlic.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the remaining lard, add the onion, and sauté until golden brown, stirring frequently. Add a pinch of freshly crushed caraway seeds, groats, mushrooms, and garlic, and stir everything for 2 minutes. Add dried marjoram, rubbed between your palms, pour in the broth, and let it simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
