Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook corn porridge with pumpkin in milk? Very simple! To prepare, prepare the necessary ingredients. Depending on the variety, the pumpkin pieces will boil more or less. If you want the porridge to have a pronounced sweet taste, add another 1-2 tbsp. l. Sahara. With the same amount of sugar as in the recipe, the taste will be neutral, without pronounced sweetness.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel and seed the pumpkin and cut into small pieces. This way it will cook faster. Please note that the exact cooking time depends on the type of pumpkin.

3. STEP 3

   

   Sort the corn grits and rinse thoroughly until the water becomes completely clear. Then drain the water and dry the cereal. You can soak the cereal for 20 minutes in water to remove the bitterness.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour milk and water into a thick-walled saucepan. Add chopped pumpkin. Place the pan over high heat and bring the contents to a boil.

5. STEP 5

   

   Then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the pumpkin is soft, about 15 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Once the squash is soft, masher it directly in the pan until it reaches the desired consistency. If you want a smooth, uniform texture, use an immersion blender to blend the mixture.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add rinsed corn grits to the pan. Cook the porridge over low heat with constant stirring for about 20 minutes until excess liquid boils away.

8. STEP 8

I often prepare healthy breakfasts for my children. I found a recipe for porridge with pumpkin, and I just happened to have frozen pumpkin. I decided to make porridge according to this recipe. I have a sweet variety of pumpkin that is bright orange in color. I used finely ground corn grits, they boil well, there are no grains and they are always homogeneous. First I cooked the pumpkin, then added milk, sugar and cereal. Cook the porridge over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring. Then she wrapped it up and left it to brew. Before serving, I added a piece of butter as recommended by the author. The child really liked the corn porridge with pumpkin; he ate one and a half servings and was very pleased. He likes the orange color of the pumpkin) The porridge according to this recipe is medium thick, sweet and aromatic. Thank you!

Thank you for the delicious and healthy recipe! Pumpkin season has also begun for us; yesterday I made corn porridge with pumpkin for the first time. Only I cook pumpkin separately and porridge separately - first in water, and then add milk. At the end I mix and add sugar and butter. I need to try your recipe too. But I’m sure it will turn out great in any case!
