Millet porridge in pumpkin

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook millet porridge in pumpkin? Prepare your food. Wash a small pumpkin and cut off the lid and stack with a sharp knife. Since pumpkins usually have fairly tough flesh, be careful not to cut your hands with the knife. Don't throw away the pumpkin cap.

2. STEP 2

   

   Using a teaspoon, remove the insides of the pumpkin (seeds and some of the pulp). The walls should ultimately remain the size of a centimeter and a half.

3. STEP 3

   

   Rinse millet cereals under running water until the drained water becomes clear. I always wash millet in warm water in a sieve directly under the tap.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the washed millet inside the pumpkin.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash the dried apricots and chop them into small cubes. Place dried apricots on top of the millet cereal. You can supplement dried apricots with raisins and other dried fruits (choose not sour ones, otherwise the milk may curdle). If you don’t like dried fruits, you can completely do without them, the porridge will still be tasty.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add sugar and salt to taste. Add a pinch of vanilla. If you don't like the vanilla flavor, you can omit it or replace it with something else.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour milk into the pumpkin. Instead of milk, you can use water or a mixture of milk and water. Better yet, mix milk with cream.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cover the pumpkin with a makeshift lid and place in a rimmed mold to bake for about 40 minutes in an oven preheated to 200 degrees. Determine the time and temperature based on your oven and the readiness of the porridge and pumpkin: if they are damp after a while, I recommend reducing the temperature (to about 160 degrees, but everything is individual) and continuing cooking, periodically tasting the dish until it is ready.

9. STEP 9

   

   Serve the porridge with fresh butter at a rate of about five grams per serving or to your taste.

I liked the idea of ​​cooking millet porridge in pumpkin. I decided to try it. I washed the pumpkin, cut off the “lid”, and cleaned out the pulp and seeds. I washed the millet until the water was clear. I put millet, salt, sugar, vanilla sugar into the pumpkin. I did not add dried apricots. I poured it with milk, covered it with a “lid” and put it in the oven to bake at 200° for 1 hour. Then I tried it for another 30 minutes. I had a larger pumpkin than the author of the recipe, so I increased the amount of ingredients and baking time accordingly! The aroma during baking was simply amazing, whetting my appetite even more. At the end I added a piece of butter. Mm....it turned out so yummy! The porridge is aromatic, appetizing, rich, and cannot be compared to cooking in a saucepan. Definitely the recipe is now in my piggy bank. Thanks to Unicorn Steak for the recipe!
