Millet porridge in pumpkin on water

How to make millet porridge in pumpkin on water?

1. Since the dish will be baked in the oven, first of all it is necessary to turn on the oven at 180-200 degrees Celsius for preheating.

2. While the oven is heating up, you can do the pumpkin directly. In this case, it is better to give preference to a small round pumpkin. Thus, it can be used to simulate the so-called "pot" for millet porridge.

Rinse the pumpkin thoroughly with water, removing all dirt, and dry it with paper towels. Then carefully cut off its top in the form of a hat - in the future it will serve as a lid for our "pot". Next, with a tablespoon, remove the inner pulp of the fruit along with pumpkin seeds. Scrape out as much of the inner pulp of the pumpkin as possible, place it on a cutting board and finely chop it. Put the crushed pumpkin pulp inside again.

3. Rinse the millet several times with water until the water is clear. Then transfer the grits to a fine sieve and drain all the excess water. Put the washed millet inside the pumpkin. Add salt and sugar to taste. Pour clean water into the same place and mix all the ingredients well together. Put a piece of butter on top.

4. Cover the pumpkin stuffed with porridge with the upper part cut off earlier and put it on a baking sheet. Then put the pumpkin pan in the preheated oven for about an hour. After that, remove from the oven, carefully, so as not to get burned, remove the upper part and mix the contents of the pumpkin with a spoon. Cover the pumpkin with a "lid" again and put it in the oven for another 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the fruit, bake until fully cooked.

When the pumpkin is ready, take it out of the oven, let it cool down a little, transfer to a dish and serve the millet porridge directly in the pumpkin.
