Millet rice porridge with milk

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 35 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook rice and millet porridge with milk? Prepare your food. Sort the millet, removing debris and red grains. Then rinse it thoroughly under warm running water. It will be more convenient to rinse in a colander or sieve with the smallest holes. Place clean millet in a pan (I have a regular steel one) and fill with cold water so that it covers the grain by about a centimeter.

2. STEP 2

   

   Bring the millet to a boil over low heat, stirring occasionally, and simmer for two minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   While the water is boiling, rinse the rice thoroughly under running water. Leave the rice in a colander for now. When the millet has cooked a little, drain the first water, discarding the millet in a colander directly on top of the rice. Place both grains back into the pan.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour milk over the cereal. You can take milk of any fat content. But the taste and calorie content of the porridge will depend on this. You can also cook with milk and water, mixed in a one-to-one ratio. Cook the porridge over low heat for about twenty minutes, stirring occasionally. Time may vary depending on stove and pan. You need to focus on the readiness of the cereal and the desired viscosity of the porridge.

5. STEP 5

   

   If the cereal remains hard and the milk has already boiled away, then add more. At the very end of cooking, salt the porridge and add sugar and butter. Stir and taste the porridge for readiness and taste. Turn off the heat. Keep the finished porridge covered for a while so that it simmers a little. Serve the porridge to the table. Bon appetit!

With the advent of children, I had to learn how to cook many different cereals. Including “Friendship” porridge. In the family in which I grew up, such porridge was not prepared. So I had to learn on my own. I looked here, read there - and so I began to prepare “Friendship”, “by eye.” It turns out delicious, the family is happy. And then I came across a recipe for rice and millet porridge with milk, and I wanted to cook it according to the rules. Fundamentally, cooking “according to the rules” is no different from my “by eye”. I have never boiled millet separately. But I did everything step by step, as described in the recipe. I usually boil cereals for porridges first in water, and then add milk to them. This time I immediately poured the millet with rice and milk and water (1:1) and cooked for 20 minutes. And, as it turned out, the porridge turns out tastier this way; rice and millet don’t taste like two different cereals, but become one whole. This definitely turned out to be a “Friendship” porridge! As they say, live and learn. Using the ingredients for four servings, I got three adult servings and two children's servings. Thanks for the recipe!

For breakfast I cooked rice and millet porridge with milk. My daughter says that in kindergarten this porridge was called “Friendship.” I liked in the recipe that the millet is boiled a little and then washed. Due to this, the bitterness goes away, and the grains seem to open up. It turns out that it is also convenient to wash rice in a sieve. I cooked the porridge in a thick-walled saucepan for about 20 minutes on the lowest heat so that it boiled. Then she put a piece of butter in the pan and left it to stand under the lid. The porridge is tasty and tender, there is absolutely no specific taste of millet! My thickness turned out to be medium, but it can be adjusted to your taste.

Thank you for reminding me of this recipe. My grandmother cooked it very similar. She simmered it for about an hour on the lowest heat, and the aroma could be heard from the threshold. An unforgettable taste since childhood. And then I cooked it the same way, and now probably like everyone else - in a slow cooker .Loaded and no need to follow up. Still tasty, but something elusive has disappeared, maybe the aroma is not so lasting. Life is at different speeds, now we need something simpler and faster. The porridge according to your recipe turned out to be simply very, very TASTY!

Elena, thank you! It turned out very tasty. But the cereal didn’t have time to cook, so I had to add more milk.
