It is impossible to imagine Russian cuisine without a variety of cereals. Sweetish aromatic pumpkin will decorate millet or rice porridge not only with its taste, but also with its bright color, which remains in the finished dish. The dish can be cooked in milk or water, whichever you prefer.
It is necessary
-
- millet or round rice (1 glass);
- milk (3 glasses);
- pumpkin (500 g);
- granulated sugar (1 tsp);
- salt (0.5 tsp).
Instructions
Step 1
Boil the kettle. Pour millet or rice into a sieve. Choose extraneous blotches from the cereal. Make the water in the tap warm and substitute a sieve, rinse its contents. By this time, the kettle has cooled down a little. Pour boiling water over the cereal. Stir the millet or rice with a spoon so that the water does not linger, but seeps through the sieve.
Step 2
Remove the skin from the pumpkin, remove the loose inside with seeds. Cut the bright pulp into small cubes.
Step 3
Pour milk into a saucepan and boil. Be careful, milk can "run away", so do not go far and look at the stove.
Step 4
Put the pumpkin pieces in boiling milk, heat it up a little and cook for 15 minutes. You do not need to cover the pot with a lid.
Step 5
Pour the prepared cereal into a saucepan with boiled pumpkin. Add salt and granulated sugar. Lovers of sweet aromas can add some vanillin. While stirring, continue to cook the porridge over low heat for another 25-30 minutes, until it thickens completely. Place the lid on the pot tightly.
Step 6
Pour water into a large saucepan, heat and place a saucepan with porridge in a water bath. Boiled pumpkin grits should be sprinkled for 20-30 minutes.
Step 7
If your saucepan can be put in an oven heated to 150 degrees, then let the porridge infuse there for half an hour.
Step 8
Porridge prepared in advance can be reproached in another way. This method is long, but you will have a hot dish right away for dinner or breakfast. Cover the thickened porridge tightly with a lid and wrap the saucepan in a large layered newspaper. Wrap the top with a blanket and cover with a pillow. This structure can be placed in the corner of a sofa or armchair. Waking up in the morning or returning home in the evening, all you need to do is put the ready-made hot dish on the plate.
Step 9
Add butter to the finished porridge to taste. It is best served separately in an oil can.
