Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to cook rice porridge with pumpkin in milk in a saucepan? Prepare all the necessary ingredients for this. Peel and core the pumpkin and cut it into pieces. Round rice is great for porridge. It boils a little and makes the porridge just like porridge — more homogeneous and a little viscous. The first step is to prepare the pumpkin.

Step 2

Step 2
Line a baking dish with a sheet of foil. Place the chopped pumpkin in the pan. Spread the chopped butter over the pumpkin and sprinkle with a little sugar. You can use plain or brown sugar for this. Brown will give a slightly caramel flavor. Cover the form with the pumpkin with foil and place in the oven, preheated to 190C, for about 30 minutes (depend on your oven). During this time, the pumpkin will become soft.

Step 3
To prepare the porridge, rinse the rice several times in cold water. Then transfer it to a cooking pot and add water to it. Place on the fire and bring to a boil. Then cook the rice covered over low heat for 15-20 minutes. The rice should become soft. Make sure it doesnʼt burn.
