I do not belong to lovers of sweet cereals and, moreover, I am not a fan of semolina). But this does not mean anything - there are recipes, there are amateurs and, as they say, you can't get words out of a song.
I cooked this porridge several times (in fact, two options are described in this post) and came to the conclusion that, purely subjective, for me, it is too sweet. Summer version with raspberries or strawberries is much better. But in the end, I got angry with the porridge, cooked ordinary semolina, slightly sweetened with sugar, shifted it with foams, and simply decorated it with fresh strawberries on top. So that was much more interesting. However, in this publication I present a recipe based on an old recipe from 1909. And the point. "I like it, I don't like it, sleep, my beauty .." So.
There are many variants of this porridge, where layers of sweet semolina porridge cooked in milk alternate, foam removed from milk (fresh cream) stewed in the oven or in the oven, nuts (hazelnuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, pine nuts) and seasonal fruits, cut into small pieces and boiled for five minutes in syrup (as for jam), or dried fruits, most often raisins and candied fruits ...
There are old recipes in which rice, millet or buckwheat porridge, rubbed through a sieve, is used instead of sweet semolina in milk. The recipe below is based on the recipe of 1909.
The recipe is for four pots with a volume of approximately 250 ml:
Peeled walnuts - 300-350 g
Porridge milk (highest fat content) - 3 cups (750 ml)
Milk (or fresh cream) for foams - 1-1.5 l
Semolina (small) - 75 g
Sugar - 2-3 tbsp. spoons for semolina porridge + 100 g for caramelized nuts + 50 g for fruit syrup + 2 tbsp. spoons for sprinkling. TOTAL ABOUT 300g.
Raisins (preferably seedless) - 100-150 g
(FOR THE SUMMER OPTION, IT IS POSSIBLE TO USE raspberries or strawberries - 1.5 cups or apples and pears, peeled and cut into small cubes - 1.5 cups)
Butter - 50 g for semolina and 30-40 g for greasing the pots
1/2 lemon juice
Olive oil - 1-2 tablespoons spoons
Roast the nuts in a frying pan in the oven at 160-170 ° C for 40 minutes, peel them, and grind them in a mortar or with a nut grater before use. Larger or smaller - depends on preference.
- Pour milk into a wide, roomy saucepan with high sides (you can use a cast iron pan or a cast iron wok). Bring to a boil and place in an oven preheated to 150-170 ° C. As froths form on the surface of the milk, remove them with a slotted spoon (a spoon with holes) and put them on a plate. This process can take about 3 hours. The more foams the better. Foams should not be allowed to burn, they should have a golden or beige color.
When folding the froths on a tray or plate, one should try to form with a fork "pancakes" with a diameter, like in pots, in which layers of Guryev porridge will be collected.
- While the foams are being prepared, you should cook caramelized nuts and raisins (or fruit in syrup if the summer option).
To do this, pour sugar into a small ladle or saucepan and pour the juice of half a lemon through a strainer. Bring to a boil and simmer at a low boil, stirring continuously, for 1-2 minutes (so that the sugar dissolves), then add the prepared nuts and remove the saucepan from the stove. Immediately transfer the nuts to a plate, into which first pour in odorless vegetable oil (for example, good olive oil) and mix.
- Raisins, berries or pieces of fruit should be dipped in syrup, as for jam, and held at a low boil for no more than 5 minutes. Boil the syrup in such a way that all the fruits are filled, that is, take 125 g of sugar for 1 glass of water. If you use raisins, then put the raisins in the hot syrup for a few minutes, but you do not need to cook it.
- When there is a sufficient amount of froth (12-16 pcs.), In a small saucepan on the stove, cook semolina porridge in milk. To do this, bring the milk to almost a boil and add semolina in a thin stream, stirring continuously, cook for 2 minutes, then add sugar, salt on the tip of a knife and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add 50 g of butter to the finished porridge and mix.
- Visually divide everything cooked into four parts and start laying out the layers in the pots.
- Put a layer of semolina 0.5-1 cm thick in each pot), then put a layer of foams, nuts, and fruits or raisins on them with a teaspoon, then repeat the layers.
- The last layer should be of porridge, which should be sprinkled with sugar on top and burned with a burner. Decorate (preferably with pine nuts) nuts and raisins.
And if there is no burner, then put the nuts in caramel as a finishing layer and send the pots to the already preheated oven for about 7-10 minutes.
REMARKS:
Guryev's porridge can be cooked not in pots, but in a frying pan in which you can serve the porridge on the table (but this is not so presentable).
You can cook a light version of the Guryev porridge. In this case, use only semolina and foam as layers, and decorate with nuts and raisins on top.
Cook semolina porridge with vanilla sugar or a piece of vanilla pod.
if I forgot I will add, but it seems I have not forgotten ..
In this photo, there is an option in which without using a burner, and the last layer is nuts in caramel.
In the distant 19th century, Count D.A. Guryev, who was also known as that gourmet, was invited to dinner with Officer Yurisovsky. The dessert that he tasted amazed him so much with its taste that Guryev kissed the cook, Zakhar Kuzmin, who prepared this extraordinary dish. And for dessert, semolina porridge was served, which was later named Guryevskaya. The name of the chef has been forgotten over time, but the recipe for Guryev porridge has entered almost all cookbooks and is known today far beyond the borders of Russia.
Traditionally, Guryev porridge is prepared from semolina with the obligatory addition of foams, which are removed from milk or cream when heated. Then the foams, alternately with semolina and nuts, are laid out in layers in a baking dish, or stewpan, and baked in the oven. On top, the porridge is decorated with candied fruits, nuts and poured with jam. Before adding nuts to Guryev's porridge, they must be cleaned of films so that the dish does not acquire a gray color and does not spoil the whole aesthetics of the dish.

The first mentions of Guryev porridge date back to the beginning of the 19th century. Its name is associated with the name of Count Dmitry Guryev, Minister of Finance and member of the State Council of the Russian Empire.
According to one version, the porridge was invented by the serf chef Zakhar Kuzmin, who served with retired Major Georgy Yurisovsky, where Count Dmitry Guryev once visited. The guest liked the unusual dish so much that later the entire Kuzmin family was bought out by the count, and Zakhar was appointed a staff chef in the count's estate.
The mention of this dish in history is connected with the name of Emperor Alexander by the fact that it was very loved by Emperor Alexander 111. In 1888, near Kharkov, when a train with the imperial family crashed, this porridge was served as a sweet dish for dessert. At that moment, when the waiter, at the request of the emperor, served porridge, adding cream to it, a crash was heard, the train jerked and derailed.
In addition, Guryev porridge was also mentioned in the works of V. Gilyarovsky when he describes Moscow taverns. Noble Russian princes and counts deliberately came to Moscow to taste the famous Guryev porridge.
This dish is prepared according to different recipes that differ from each other. But its main secret is in creamy foams .. For this, cream or milk is put in the oven and as soon as the foam on the surface is browned, it is removed. It is important not to miss the right moment, as dark, burnt foams are not good - they give a different taste. It all depends on the skill of the cook. The more good, ruddy creamy foams in the porridge, the tastier it is.
After that, pour semolina into hot cream and cook the porridge until tender. Next, you need to put nuts and dried fruits in it, mix. Put the porridge in the prepared dishes layer by layer, alternating with foams. Sprinkle the porridge with sugar on top, put in the preheated oven .. After the sugar is caramelized, take out the porridge, turn it over onto a beautiful plate and decorate with sweet berries or fruits on top, according to your taste ...
List of components that make up Guryev porridge:
Perhaps this dish is more like a dessert, a delicacy, just sweet yummy. Regular semolina is easier to prepare and contains fewer ingredients. We associate her taste with childhood. For some, this is a favorite dish, while for others, on the contrary.
The ingredients for a simple semolina porridge are:
As for the process of cooking ordinary semolina porridge, it also requires some effort, if you want to get a tasty, appetizing dish, despite its seeming simplicity.
Perhaps the main thing is to follow the recipe, because the final result depends on it. Another subtlety - add a little water to the milk, this will prevent the porridge from burning. The cooking pot should have a thick bottom.
So, pour cold milk into a saucepan with the addition of water. Then we fall asleep the cereal. In this case, part of it settles to the bottom, the rest of the grains will remain on the surface. Leave the cereal for swelling for 10 minutes. This is necessary so that lumps do not form during the cooking process.
After that, mix the contents, as the semolina will settle to the bottom of the pan. Cook porridge over low heat, adding sugar and salt to taste. It is better, of course, not to leave the stove and periodically stir the porridge, so to speak, to control the process. Until the porridge boils, it is not necessary to constantly stir it with a spoon. And as soon as it comes to a boil, stir it constantly so that it doesn't burn. Enough 3 minutes for the porridge to cook. Well, then turn on your imagination and add whatever you like. Someone will add butter, while others prefer jam or honey. In any case, semolina prepared in this way will be tasty and without lumps,
But back to the Guryev porridge. Unlike usual, she is closer to dessert and may resemble a cake or even cake, despite the fact that it does not contain flour at all. It's just that when you add all kinds of fruits, nuts, berries, jam or candied fruits to the porridge, it becomes sweeter, richer and more nutritious. Therefore, if you are afraid for your figure, then perhaps you should not very often include this dish in your daily diet. But nevertheless, sometimes you can pamper yourself without thinking about extra pounds.
I would like to bring to your attention one more option. Unlike the classic one, it is simpler and will surely find its admirers.
First, cook ordinary semolina porridge in milk, add salt and sugar .. Then - butter and raw eggs.

Any fruits, nuts or berries are suitable for decoration and flavoring. Or you can add jam or honey if you like it better.
