Carpathian Dish Banosh

Today, I’m cooking a dish that carries the wind of the Carpathians — banosh. It’s not just porridge, it’s a piece of Ukrainian soul once made by shepherds high in the mountains. Soft corn grits, rich sour cream, aromatic mushrooms, and crispy pork cracklings — everything here is about warmth, simplicity, and true comfort. In this video, I’ll show each step: how to toast the grits, achieve a creamy texture, and bring together a flavor you can’t walk away from. If you love food with history — stay with me, this will feel like home.
