The classic dish of Russian cuisine should rightfully be present on our table. The bright pumpkin is delicious and beautiful. Any cereal with it becomes a fabulous side dish, and natural sweetness adds attractiveness to the children's table. It is only important to cook it correctly. How to do it? We will tell you in detail and offer simple recipes for making pumpkin porridge with popular cereals - rice and millet.

Average difficulty

Pumpkin porridge is cooked in milk. With it, the vegetable becomes even more tender, aromatic. During heat treatment, it does not lose its useful properties. On the contrary, boiling makes the pumpkin easier for the body to absorb. This can be safely offered to children who will definitely appreciate the original taste of the dish!

How to choose a pumpkin

The main ingredient in the dish is pumpkin. The taste, consistency and benefits of the final product depend on its correct choice. A sunny vegetable is inexpensive, widely available in the fall. Due to the fact that pumpkin is well stored in winter, it can confidently be considered one of the most useful winter products. But the pumpkin is the pumpkin.

  • Choose medium-sized fruits... In our area, one type of vegetable is cultivated - hard-bore. Its fruits do not grow large, usually up to 5 kilograms in weight. Optimal for buying pumpkins weighing about 3 kilograms. These will taste sweet and juicy. If the fruit is larger, the inside may be dry and tasteless.
  • Do not buy the vegetable in slices... The cut pumpkin, although stored well, loses its nutrients. Its pulp dries up and begins to rot. Plus, it is difficult to understand the degree of ripeness from the cut vegetable (a dry stalk testifies to it). If you are planning to buy a piece, choose it with a dense, uniform pulp. This one was cut recently.
  • Look at the color... The bright orange hue does not indicate the ripeness of the fruit at all. It is provided by vitamin A, for the content of which pumpkin is the record holder. The more vitamin there is, the brighter the color.
  • Touch the peel... It should be firm, but not "wooden". Ideal when it can be pierced with a fingernail. Such a peel speaks of the ripeness of the vegetable and its freshness.

Seeds will help you choose a good pumpkin in a piece. Try one. If it is dense, sweet, crunchy, then the fruit is ripe and has been cut recently. If the seeds have dried up, refuse to purchase.

The subtleties of cooking

So, the vegetable has been selected. How to cook pumpkin porridge? The dish can be cooked on the stove top or in the oven. On the stove, porridge is cooked faster, usually pumpkin and rice porridge is cooked using this technology. In the oven, cereals are steamed better, so components that are poorly boiled can be used for the recipe. For the oven, use the recipe for corn porridge with pumpkin, dishes with millet.

Here are a few more subtleties of the dish.

  • The finer you cut the vegetable, the faster the dish will cook.... You can grind the pumpkin into pieces or grate.
  • First, boil the pumpkin until tender, and then lay the cereal. The vegetable should be boiled in water. If there is liquid left in the saucepan, you can drain it.
  • The saturation of the pumpkin flavor can be controlled... For a persistent taste, leave the water in which the pieces were cooked and pour in less milk. For a delicate taste, the water is completely drained, and the cereals are boiled in fresh milk.
  • Millet porridge with pumpkin will be tastier if seasoned with plenty of butter. Rice or corn-based dishes do not require a lot of butter.
  • For a creamy flavor, use cream... They can replace part of the milk to make the consistency more tender and to exclude butter from the recipe.
  • Change the consistency of the dish as you like... After cooking, the vegetable can be left in pieces. Then the pumpkin porridge with millet or rice will be thicker. You can mash it or mash it with a blender. This dish is perfect for feeding babies.
  • Use spices... Don't forget about the ideal notes used in sweet dishes: vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom. Perfectly emphasizes the taste of vegetables and milk nutmeg.

A delicious dish will become even more interesting with healthy additives. Use raisins or prunes, which should be added to the cereal mass. You can add fresh apples by sprinkling them on the cooked porridge or placing them in a saucepan.
