Loose millet porridge on water in a saucepan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook crumbly millet porridge in water in a saucepan? Prepare all the necessary products. The main thing in preparing porridge is good quality cereal and I do not recommend saving on it. Take cereal from a reliable manufacturer, don’t go for the cheap price. Such cereals are pure, without foreign impurities, do not contain larvae of living creatures. Natural butter, without milk fat substitute, with a fat content of at least 82%.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sort the grains, remove excess debris and damaged grains. Then rinse well until the water runs completely clear. It is best to use a large sieve for this procedure.

3. STEP 3

   

   To cook porridge, take a pan with a thick bottom so that the porridge does not burn. Place the cereal.

4. STEP 4

   

   Fill with water. Use filtered water, do not use tap water in cooking. The water level should be 1-1.5 cm above the millet level. Millet cooks for quite a long time and to speed up the process you can pre-soak it, but this advice is only relevant if if you soak it overnight and cook it in the morning. Otherwise, you will spend the time on soaking that you would have spent on cooking.

5. STEP 5

   

   Salt the water. Millet, like rice, absorbs a lot of salt, so don’t skimp on the salt. Bring the millet to a boil over low heat, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for about 1 hour. The fire should be minimal so that each grain has time to fill with water. If necessary, you can add a little water, about 50 ml.

6. STEP 6

   

   When all the liquid has evaporated, add butter to the porridge, wait until it melts and stir. For a lean version of the dish, you can replace butter with any vegetable oil. You can let the porridge brew a little by keeping it in a warm place. When I was a child, my grandmother would wrap a pot of porridge in a warm blanket.

7. STEP 7

   

   Serve the porridge warm. Bon appetit!

Good and healthy porridge. Thanks to the author for the reminder, I haven’t cooked for a long time! I usually cook millet porridge with milk in a slow cooker for breakfast.

I have never cooked millet porridge as a side dish before and, to be honest, I didn’t even think about serving it with a second dish. For me, millet has always been associated with milk porridge for breakfast. However, the recipe for crumbly millet porridge with water in a saucepan changed my idea of ​​this cereal. I prepared the porridge for 2 servings. I cooked the millet for about 50 minutes. My porridge was not very crumbly, but I think I poured too much water. However, this didn’t upset me in any way. After all, the taste of millet porridge is excellent! I never thought that millet cooked in water and without sugar would be so tasty. Even children appreciated millet porridge as a side dish. My daughter even asked for more, which, of course, made me very happy. Thank you very much for the recipe! Now I will definitely cook millet as a side dish.
