Cabbage soup and porridge are our food. The people came up with this proverb for a reason. The importance of porridge in Russian cuisine can hardly be overestimated. Ease of preparation, a variety of tastes, the presence of various trace elements - all this is in the porridge. For the opportunity to feed households cheaply and satisfyingly, housewives have always appreciated this dish. Prepare a delicious millet porridge with raisins and dried apricots - see the merits of this food.
It is necessary
-
- 200 g millet;
- 100 g butter;
- 0.5 liters of milk;
- 50 g raisins;
- 50 g dried apricots;
- sugar;
- salt.
Instructions
Step 1
Take millet, put it in a large cup, pour cold water. Rub the cereal between your palms, drain the water. Repeat this procedure until the drained water is clear. After such washing, millet will not taste bitter.
Step 2
Pour hot water into a bowl of millet. Stir the cereal with a spoon. Drain the water.
Step 3
Rinse raisins and dried apricots with warm water, drain the water. Cut dried fruit into small pieces.
Step 4
Add raisins and dried apricots to the dish with washed millet, mix everything.
Step 5
Put millet with dried apricots and raisins in a clay pot. The mass should not take more than half the pot.
Step 6
Pour the milk over the contents until the pot bends. Do not try to fill the entire volume of the pot with milk, because it will overflow during cooking. Lubricate the inside of the crotch of the pot with butter. This will prevent the milk from escaping.
Step 7
Add salt and sugar to the pot to taste.
Step 8
Place the pot on a baking sheet with some water poured into it. Put in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. Cook for about 40 minutes (until golden brown). Stir the porridge gently from time to time. If the cereal is not yet boiled, but has already begun to stick to the walls and bottom of the pot, because the milk has boiled away, add some more milk to the porridge. After the porridge is cooked, disconnect the oven from the power supply, and leave the pot for 10-15 minutes in the oven to achieve the simmering effect.
Step 9
Season the prepared millet porridge with dried apricots and raisins with butter. Serve hot.
Bon Appetit!
