Millet porridge with pumpkin and milk is an excellent breakfast for the whole family. I decided to cook this dish in the morning, having all the ingredients. I immediately poured boiling water over the weighed millet, I have known this point for a long time and always do this with millet so that it does not become bitter. I have an ordinary pumpkin, I cleaned it, cut it and put it to simmer. Then I added millet and stewed again as described in the recipe. At this stage, I decided to add my own raisins to the porridge. Then I added all the other ingredients. I prepared the porridge very easily, quickly and without complications. Millet porridge with pumpkin had an incredible taste and aroma. It's mega delicious! All products fit perfectly together. Raisins also fit well into breakfast) The sweetness is perfect, not cloying, not too sweet, just right. The dish is beautiful, appetizing, tasty, and healthy!

For breakfast I cooked millet porridge with pumpkin in milk. I cut the pumpkin into pieces and set it to boil, adding a little water. Pour boiling water over the well-washed millet for a few minutes so that the finished porridge does not become bitter. Then I added millet to the pan with the pumpkin, cooked everything together for several minutes, stirring occasionally (at this stage I also added water). After that, I poured milk into the pan, added salt and sugar to taste and cooked until done. I like porridge in the “sloppy” category)))), so I immediately increased the amount of milk. When serving, added butter. It was a very tasty and healthy breakfast! Thanks for the recipe, Maria!
