Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to cook semolina porridge with pumpkin? Prepare your ingredients. If you are cooking it for a child, I recommend choosing orange, sweet varieties of pumpkin. If your pumpkin is not very sweet, add more sugar or honey to taste. You can use any semolina. You can also use frozen pumpkin.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the pumpkin, peel it, remove the core and seeds. Cut the pulp into small cubes (you can grate it, then the pumpkin will be almost invisible in the porridge, and the porridge will cook faster) and place it in a saucepan. Fill it with water so that it covers the pumpkin by a couple of centimeters. Place the pan on the fire. When the water boils, reduce the heat to medium and cook the pumpkin for about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Step 3
Then pour milk into the pan. Add sugar and salt to taste. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes from the moment of boiling.

Step 4

Step 4
Start adding the semolina to the pot with the pumpkin. Pour the semolina from the glass in a thin stream, stirring constantly with your other hand so that the semolina does not form lumps and stick to the bottom. Cook the porridge for about 5-7 minutes, stirring. When the porridge begins to thicken, turn off the heat.

Step 5

Step 5
Cover the saucepan with a lid and leave the porridge to stand under the lid for about 20 minutes.

Step 6

Step 6
Then place the porridge on plates, adding a piece of butter to it. You can decorate with a sprig of fresh herbs. Bon appetit!
