Millet porridge with pumpkin in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make millet porridge with pumpkin in the oven? Prepare the ingredients. You can choose any variety of pumpkin. Depending on the variety, the pumpkin pieces will boil more or less. I have Hokkaido pumpkin. It is quite sweet and aromatic, and it turns out wonderful in porridge. If you want the porridge to have a pronounced sweet taste, add another 2-3 tbsp. l. Sahara. With the same amount of sugar and honey as in the recipe, the taste will be slightly sweet.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sort the millet thoroughly and rinse thoroughly until the water becomes completely clear. Pour boiling water over the millet and leave for 2-3 minutes. This is necessary to remove the bitterness from the cereal.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then drain the water and dry the cereal. This is best achieved by placing the millet on a sieve.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the pumpkin and cut into small pieces. This way it will cook faster.

5. STEP 5

   

   Grease a baking dish with butter. Place the chopped pumpkin in the dish. Spread the millet on top. If you wish, you can leave everything in layers or mix the millet with the pumpkin.

6. STEP 6

   

   Next, you can simply sprinkle the pumpkin with millet with sugar and put honey on top. Or dissolve honey and sugar in warm milk. In both cases, the result will be the same, since during baking the sugar and honey will disperse throughout the entire mold.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour milk over everything. You may need more or less of it. The milk should completely cover the pumpkin and millet, but not reach the edges of the pan. Otherwise, when boiling, the milk will spill out of the mold and begin to burn in the oven. Choose a baking dish that will fit everything in it. Place pieces of butter on top.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cover the pan with foil (or a lid if you have a pan with an oven lid) and place in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 40 minutes. The exact baking time depends on the characteristics of your oven. All the milk should be absorbed into the cereal, and the millet should swell and become soft.

9. STEP 9

   

   Stir the finished porridge and place on plates. Serve hot. Bon appetit!

For breakfast I cooked millet porridge with pumpkin in the oven. I usually prepare cereals for porridge the day before. In the evening, I washed the millet well, poured boiling water over it for five minutes to remove the bitterness, washed it again with cold water and left it in the water overnight. In the morning, I poured the millet through a sieve, put it in a baking dish (I have a fireproof glass pan with a lid), cut the peeled pumpkin into small pieces, lightly salted it, added sugar, honey, butter and milk and put the pan in the oven. The porridge took about 40 minutes to cook. During this time, the cereal completely absorbed the milk and turned out crumbly, boiled, with a subtle pumpkin-honey aroma. But the pumpkin I had was of a different variety, sweet, but not bright in color, so the porridge turned out not as beautiful as the author’s, but it tasted simply amazing. Thanks for the recipe, Maria!
