Oatmeal porridge with pumpkin

1. Put the ripe pumpkin on the bottom and cut in half for convenience, then remove the inner membranes and remove all pumpkin seeds. Peel the fruit by cutting off the pumpkin peel, rinse with cold water and wipe with a paper towel. Cut off the necessary piece of pumpkin for this dish, and then cut it into small cubes. The remaining pumpkin can be used to prepare some other dish or wrapped in plastic wrap or baking paper and put in the refrigerator.

2. Place the pumpkin cubes in a steamer and boil until soft for about 20 minutes. In the absence of a steamer, you can boil a pumpkin in a multiwark, using the "Steamed" mode or in a regular saucepan, pouring water. The main condition is that the pumpkin is cooked to a soft state and it could easily be turned into a puree. After the pumpkin is cooked, grind it in the bowl of a blender or food processor to a puree-like state. You can also chop a pumpkin by simply kneading it with a mallet or fork.

3. Pour the oat flakes into a saucepan of a suitable size and transfer the pumpkin puree. Pour milk and drinking water into a saucepan and mix all the ingredients well. Add sugar and salt for a balanced taste. Put the pan on the stove and cook pumpkin-oatmeal porridge of a watery consistency over low heat. Stir the porridge periodically so that it burns to the bottom of the pan.

Ready-made oatmeal porridge with pumpkin is eaten warm or hot. For more sweetness, you can add a little honey and a piece of butter to it. So the porridge will taste even more tender! After the porridge is laid out on serving plates, decorate it to your taste. For example, you can do this with nuts, fresh berries and pieces of fruit. You can just sprinkle porridge with a small amount of cinnamon, which perfectly harmonizes with pumpkin.

Bon appetit!
