Porridge with pumpkin and millet is a special dish - very common and unremarkable, however, has earned a positive reputation all over the world as borscht, cabbage soup or kvass. Porridge is the subject of national pride, the pinnacle of ancient Russian culinary art.

Millet

Millet is a healthy and nutritious food, which, when consumed daily, is rarely able to pall, like bread.

Millet, like other grains today, is not expensive. They are easy to prepare and at the same time it is a very nutritious product available to everyone. The protein content of wheat is equal to that of wheat. Dietary millet porridge with pumpkin will provide the body with energy for the whole day and help maintain a slim and fit figure.

Good to know:

• 1 cup raw millet makes about 3 1/2 cups boiled;
• to cook 1 cup of millet you need 2 cups of water, if you want to make a thin porridge, increase the amount of milk or water to 3 cups.

Mentions of millet porridge lead far into the past. In ancient Rus', millet porridge was very popular and was always used as a traditional holiday dish. Each family had its own recipe for making porridge, it is hearty and tasty. The main thing is to cook it skillfully ...

Pumpkin

When people talk about “pumpkin” in Russia, they usually understand the type of pumpkin, although there are more than 20 species. Baked or boiled pumpkin is well absorbed and therefore is used even in baby food. Raw, it can be used to make salads.

Pumpkin is rich in vitamins and minerals (potassium, iron, calcium, phosphorus), contains rare vitamin B11, carnitine, contains a lot of pectin. Fruit sugar content reaches 14%.

How to store pumpkin at home

Those living in city apartments should not worry about the lack of a cellar - storing a pumpkin on a glazed loggia from 5 to 15 degrees above zero does not reduce its useful properties and does not accelerate spoilage.

The cut pumpkin should be stored in the refrigerator, covering the cut with a film. Also, peeled and cut into pieces pumpkin can be frozen and stored in a plastic bag in the freezer. The harvested pumpkin is defrosted and cooked as usual.

Millet groats and pumpkin are a great tasting and very healthy combination. Millet porridge with pumpkin can be cooked simply on water, as well as on milk alone. It is believed that millet groats are less boiled in milk than in water, but the addition of pumpkin successfully solves this problem. According to your desire, you can cook millet porridge crumbly or viscous. The list of ingredients shows the amount of milk for both options. Milk is better to take low-fat.

Pumpkin is suitable both fresh and frozen for the winter, grated or in pieces. Depending on the variety, pumpkin pieces will either fall apart when cooked or retain their shape. For sweetening, use sugar or honey, which are better added to the finished porridge than during cooking.

To prepare millet porridge with pumpkin in milk, prepare the required amount of ingredients according to the list.

Sweat the pumpkin cut into pieces in milk, i.e. in half milk. To do this, after boiling the milk, reduce the heat and cook over low heat for 5-10 minutes.

During this time, prepare the millet. If necessary, sort it out from the garbage, but it is better to buy good quality cereals that do not require you to painstakingly sort the grains. Millet should be washed several times in cold water and several times in hot.

Send the prepared millet groats and a pinch of salt to a saucepan with milk and pumpkin, then pour in the second part of the milk. I plan to have a more crumbly than a viscous option, so two glasses of milk are used, it’s easy to divide in half.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 25 minutes covered.

Ready porridge should be allowed to stand for a few more minutes - steam out. Then add butter and optionally sugar or honey.

Millet porridge with pumpkin in milk is ready.

Bon appetit!

I recommend everyone to include milk millet porridge with pumpkin in their diet. It is not only very tasty, but also useful. We talked about the benefits of pumpkin in the article - and it also talks about how to choose a pumpkin, how to store it and what to cook from it. If you do not grow pumpkin in your garden plot, then you can easily buy it in markets or supermarkets. I especially like butternut squash, it has a more pronounced taste and is sweeter. For milk porridge, this pumpkin fits perfectly. But any other variety is also suitable for this dish. So, in detail - how to cook millet porridge with pumpkin.

What is necessary:

• 1 glass of millet
• 2 glasses of milk
• 4 glasses of water
• 400 g pumpkin
• 3-4 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Delicious millet porridge with pumpkin

Cooking delicious porridge with milk is not difficult, the main thing is to choose the ratio of millet and pumpkin for yourself. Someone likes more pumpkin, someone less. I took the average amount of pumpkin, and you choose the most suitable amount for yourself.

About milk and water! You can cook this porridge only with milk, then take 6 glasses of milk. I prefer to cook in a ratio of 2:4. If you wish, this proportion can be changed as you like. You can cook on water, but still, at least 1 glass of milk is better to take for cooking, this will improve the taste and texture of porridge.

It is better to sort millet before cooking in order to prevent small pebbles from getting on the teeth. Pour into a bowl and rinse several times until clean water. It is recommended to rinse the millet for the last time with hot water or pour boiling water over it to remove bitterness.

Peel the pumpkin and cut into pieces. Choose the size of the pieces yourself. Some like it bigger, like me, and some like it smaller.

Pour the washed millet with milk and hot water. I take boiling water. We put on the stove, bring to a boil and lay out the pieces of pumpkin, sugar, salt.

When it boils, reduce the heat and cook over medium heat until cooked through for 20-25 minutes. After 10 minutes, add cinnamon.

After removing from the stove, let the milk porridge brew a little and serve delicious fragrant porridge with pumpkin, adding a piece of butter.
