Gorohlianyky (Ukrainian: горохляники, also хоми, горохв'яники, горохові котлети), from Ukrainian "goroh", pea) is a traditional Ukrainian dish made from dried pea, a form of fritters or pancakes.[1][2] The dish was most often prepared during Lent, as well as for the feast of Holy Forty.[3]
Description
Gorohlianyky or gorohvyanyky are made from peas puree. Dry peas are soaked and boiled, then mashed to form a smooth, puréed mass. A 1913 recipe calls for "gorokhvyaniki" made from pea dough: dried peas are ground into flour, which is then kneaded into dough.[4]
Gorokhlyaniki were prepared in two ways: fried or baked.[5][6]
Two to three tablespoons of wheat or rye flour were added to the pea puree and fried in a well-heated frying pan: with oil during Lent, and with lard during non-fasting days. They were eaten with cracklings, crushed garlic, butter, sour cream, and mushroom sauce.[3][5] Alternatively, fried onions, sugar and salt and a little flour were added to the pea puree. All of it was mixed, formed into pampushki and baked in the oven. Traditionally, they were served with hemp seed flour.[6]
In modern recipes, an egg is added to the pea puree. This dish is also called pea cutlet.[7][8]
