Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make pumpkin casserole with semolina? Prepare your food. Pumpkin is suitable both fresh and frozen. Defrost the frozen one first, maybe not completely — it will still need to be cooked. Wash fresh, cut, peel and cut into cubes.

Step 2

Step 2
First of all, pour kefir over the semolina and leave it to swell for about 15 minutes. Kefir is suitable for any fat content.

Step 3

Step 3
Pour the diced pumpkin with a small amount of water and boil until soft over low heat. While youʼre at it, add sugar to the pumpkin. You can adjust its quantity to your taste. If the pumpkin is of dessert sweet varieties, you don’t need to add sugar at all.

Step 4

Step 4
Drain the water from the finished pumpkin, and mash the pumpkin pieces or punch them with a blender — but this works just fine with a regular spoon, check the condition of your pumpkin. It can behave differently depending on the variety.

Step 5

Step 5
Beat a chicken egg into the pumpkin puree. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. It is best to use food grade detergents and a brush.

Step 6

Step 6
Add the swollen semolina to the pumpkin. Add baking powder and stir — the dough will immediately bubble.

Step 7

Step 7
Grease a baking dish with butter and sprinkle with dry semolina or breadcrumbs. Due to this, the casserole will not stick to the pan, and an appetizing crust will form on its surface.

Step 8

Step 8
Pour the dough into the mold and place in the oven, heated to 180 degrees. After 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 160 degrees and cook the casserole for about another half hour. Time and temperature are approximate, use your oven and the readiness of the casserole as your guide. When it turns brown and does not stick to a wooden skewer when pierced, the pumpkin casserole with semolina is ready.

Step 9

Step 9
Serve this casserole with fresh berries and fruits (by the way, you can partially add them to the dough), whipped cream, condensed milk, jam or jam. Bon appetit!
