What it is

A canned, ready-to-eat porridge of pearl barley simmered with chunks of lamb in its own broth, with a touch of onion, salt and bay leaf. The tin holds 525 g of one-pot warmth: the barley grains have drunk in the meat juices and turned glossy and full-bodied, the lamb is cooked low and slow until it falls apart against a spoon, and the broth between the grains stays just loose enough to be properly comforting. Open it, tip it into a saucepan, warm it through, and a real hot meal is on the table in about five minutes.

This is the kasha that fed soldiers, foresters and long-distance drivers across the old USSR, and it earns its keep in any modern kitchen for exactly the same reasons. Eat it straight from the pan with a knob of butter and a grind of black pepper for a quiet lunch alone. Spoon it onto a deep plate alongside a salad of pickled cabbage or marinated tomatoes for supper. Take it camping, hiking, fishing or to the dacha, where a tin, a small stove and ten minutes give you a hot main course no matter the weather. Keep a couple in the cupboard for late nights, busy weeks, power cuts and the kind of cold autumn day that asks for something stick-to-your-ribs.
