What can be made from semolina and milk. Recipes for semolina porridge dishes: casseroles, manna, pudding and cutlets

In our diet, semolina has firmly established itself as baby porridge. Moreover, kids don’t like it because it periodically shows lumps, an unappetizing film on the surface, and excessive thickness. All these problems can be solved by properly preparing porridge, and recipes for dishes based on it will help you to fall in love with it not only in childhood, but also in adulthood. The baked goods are especially delicious. So, what to make from semolina porridge? Many things!

Product selection

The correct choice of grains will allow you to obtain the correct consistency of the dish. It should be uniform, without lumps or pebbles. The presence of the former indicates that the semolina became damp during storage or transportation, which means it could acquire a rancid or moldy taste. The latter will say about the low quality of production and non-compliance with GOST. Small flour mills that have outdated technological lines are “sinning” with pebbles.

Other nuances of choosing cereals.

• Use the "M" brand. This cereal has a matte color, from light white to cream. The grains are small, crumbly, round in shape. It is made from soft wheat and is ideal for children's porridges and making manna cakes. The grains are completely boiled, practically dissolving in the dish, which is why it gets an even consistency. The disadvantage of the product is its high calorie content (360 Kcal per 100 grams), so it is not suitable for a dietary diet. In a healthy diet, “T” brand cereals are used; durum wheat is used for its production.
• Don't cook with old grains. The shelf life in plastic packaging is 10 months. The product will be stored for the same amount of time in a glass jar, tightly closed with a plastic lid. If the “age” of semolina is not known, it is better to refuse to prepare dishes from it. The grains are extremely susceptible to absorbing “flavors” and moisture from the environment, which changes their taste from bitter to sour.
• Buy product from reputable manufacturers. It is better to take a familiar brand, since a reputable manufacturer will not use poor raw materials. By bad we mean imported wheat, which is often delivered in tankers carrying petroleum products. From such proximity, the cereal receives a specific taste, which cannot be derived. Large manufacturers use domestic raw materials, Russian wheat. It is both healthy and the quality of the semolina is consistently high.

You can make many dishes from good grains! For example, semolina porridge pie or delicious pancakes. What’s especially attractive is that you can use leftovers from yesterday’s breakfast for each new masterpiece. Typically, such porridge needs to be diluted with milk or water, since it thickens during storage.
