Rice porridge with pumpkin in a slow cooker

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook rice porridge with pumpkin in a slow cooker? Prepare your food. I gave the weight in grams and milliliters, but you can measure them in multi-glasses, the proportions are 6 glasses of liquid per glass of cereal. You can take milk alone or, as I used, a mixture of milk and water. Take short-grain rice, not steamed, otherwise it will not cook. Read more about the intricacies of choosing rice in a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the pumpkin, carefully cutting it into small pieces. Be careful - the vegetable is very hard, do not cut yourself. Remove the seeds. I have the top part of a dessert pumpkin, it is without seeds. Cut the pumpkin into small cubes. Or grate on a coarse grater. The type of porridge will depend on the cutting method - the grated pumpkin will practically dissolve and the porridge will turn orange.

3. STEP 3

   

   Rinse the rice well under cool running water. Place it in the multicooker bowl, add the pumpkin there, add salt and sugar. Adjust their quantity to your taste. Pour in milk and water (or milk alone). Place the bowl in the multicooker and close it with the lid. Turn on the mode suitable for cooking porridge. It is called differently for different models. On mine it’s “Milk porridge”, it’s automatic, you don’t need to set the time.

4. STEP 4

   

   If you set a time, then make it 40 minutes. Turn on start. After the ready signal, open the lid and add butter. Stir. The porridge will be liquid; to thicken it, turn on the “Warming” mode for 20 minutes. Or just leave it to sit with the lid closed. The porridge will thicken. The exact time will depend on the operating characteristics of your multicooker. Read more about this in a separate article at the link at the end of the recipe.

5. STEP 5

   

   Serve the porridge to the table. Bon appetit!

I cook rice porridge with pumpkin for breakfast in a slow cooker. This is one of my favorite breakfasts. I don’t cut the pumpkin pieces finely; I like it when there are aromatic, juicy, sweet pieces in the porridge. I cooked it in “Porridge” mode for an hour. The porridge was well cooked and reached the most delicate consistency. Wonderful breakfast! Thank you, katushafin!

Thank you so much for the recipe! Finally, I got the porridge that I ate as a child))) However, I made it not in a slow cooker, but in a saucepan. But I used your recipe “rice porridge with pumpkin in a slow cooker” with step-by-step instructions and proportions as a basis. Rice took a little less. I crushed the pumpkin in a blender. The advice about diluting milk with water was very useful so that the porridge does not “run”. I’ve made pumpkin porridge a couple of times before in a slow cooker, but I didn’t dilute the milk with water, so after that I had to wash the lid of the slow cooker for a long time))) Next time I’ll try to make this porridge in a slow cooker. The porridge turns out very tasty, tender, the rice is well cooked and forms a single whole with the porridge. Here is my photo report)))
