Instructions
Step 1
Choose cereals for cooking porridge. If you want to have a truly valuable porridge rich in all useful substances, then opt for the least processed product. This will be a croup with partially removed seed coats, light brown, elongated, with slightly pointed tips. It is she who contains the largest amount of useful fiber, which acts on the body as a "brush". On the shelves of shops, there are wheat flakes for instant cooking. You should refuse to buy them. Many beneficial substances inherent in the correct wheat groats are lost in the flakes during the pre-processing process.
Step 2
Choose the dishes in which the wheat porridge will be cooked. Cast iron or Teflon-coated cookware is best. The porridge will definitely not burn in it.
Step 3
Sort out the cereals, remove impurities. Rinse in cold water.
Wheat porridge can be viscous or crumbly. If you want to cook a crumbly porridge, then take 1 glass of cereal for 2 glasses of water. Bring water to a boil, lightly salt and add cereal. Simmer for about an hour. Or, with the same proportions, cook the cereals with a medium boil for 10 minutes, then move the dishes with porridge into the oven and leave there to simmer until tender at the lowest temperature. It will take another hour or so. When cooking crumbly porridge, add oil at the very beginning. When cooking a viscous porridge, water should be taken in a ratio of 1: 5. Pour cereals into boiling, lightly salted water and cook for 20-30 minutes.
