Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make millet porridge in pumpkin on water? Prepare all products according to the list. Choose a small round pumpkin. Thus, with its help you can imitate the so-called “pot” for millet porridge. Since the dish will be baked in the oven, first turn on the oven at 180-200 degrees Celsius to preheat.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the pumpkin thoroughly with water, removing all dirt, and dry with paper towels. Then carefully cut off its top in the form of a cap - in the future it will serve as a lid for our “pot”.

3. STEP 3

   

   Next, use a tablespoon to remove the inner pulp of the fruit along with the pumpkin seeds.

4. STEP 4

   

   Scrape out more of the inner flesh of the pumpkin, place it on a cutting board and chop it finely. Place the crushed pumpkin pulp inside again.

5. STEP 5

   

   Rinse the millet several times with water until the water runs clear. Pour boiling water over the millet cereal and leave for 7 minutes. Then transfer the cereal to a fine sieve and drain off any excess water.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the washed millet inside the pumpkin. Add salt and sugar to taste.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour clean water there and mix all the ingredients well. Place a piece of butter on top.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cover the pumpkin stuffed with porridge with the previously cut top part and place it on a baking sheet.

9. STEP 9

   

   Then place the baking sheet with the pumpkin in the preheated oven for about an hour. Then remove from the oven, carefully so as not to burn yourself, remove the top part and mix the contents of the pumpkin with each other with a spoon. Cover the pumpkin again with the “lid” and place in the oven for another 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the fruit, until fully cooked.

10. STEP 10

    

    When the pumpkin is ready, remove it from the oven, let it cool slightly, transfer it to a dish and serve the millet porridge directly in the pumpkin. Bon appetit, everyone!

To prepare millet porridge in pumpkin in water, I first prepared the pumpkin. She washed it and dried it. I cut off the top; in the future it will be the lid. Use a spoon to remove the pulp and seeds. Finely chopped the pulp and put it in the pumpkin. I washed the millet several times until the water became clear. I poured boiling water over it for 10 minutes. Then I drained the water and put it in the pumpkin, salted it and added a tablespoon of sugar. And she poured water so that it was slightly higher than the millet, put a piece of butter on top, covered it with the cut off top and put it in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees. I placed the pumpkin on a baking sheet, on the middle tier. Baking time may vary. My porridge was ready in 35 minutes. The dish was served on the table directly in the pumpkin. I think it’s more interesting and unusual. We really liked the millet porridge, it turned out crumbly with the taste and aroma of pumpkin. My daughters ate the porridge with pleasure. They especially liked the presentation of the dish.

Millet porridge with water in pumpkin is a tasty and healthy dish made from the simplest ingredients. Since in this recipe millet is boiled in plain water, it can be consumed by people on a diet or fasting (in this case, butter must be replaced with vegetable oil). The porridge turns out tasty, tender and quite filling, with a pleasant pumpkin aroma. Thank you very much for the recipe!
