Crumbly millet porridge on water

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook crumbly millet porridge on water? Prepare all the necessary products. The main thing in the preparation of porridge is a good quality cereal and I do not advise saving on it. Take cereals from a reliable manufacturer, do not chase cheapness. This cereal is clean, without foreign impurities, does not contain larvae of living creatures. Natural butter, without milk fat substitute, with a fat content of at least 82%.

2. Step 2:

   

   Sort out the grits, remove excess debris and damaged grains. Then rinse well until the water drains completely clear. It is best to use a large sieve for this procedure.

3. Step 3:

   

   To cook porridge, take a saucepan with a thick bottom so that the porridge does not burn. Lay out the grits.

4. Step 4:

   

   Fill with water. Use filtered water, do not use tap water in cooking. The water level should be 1.5 cm above the millet level. Millet is cooked for a long time and to speed up the process, you can pre-soak it, but this advice is relevant only if you soak it overnight and cook it in the morning. Otherwise, you will spend the time on soaking that you would have spent on cooking.

6. Step 5:

   

   Salt the water. Millet, like rice, absorbs a lot of salt, so do not spare salt. Bring the millet to a boil over low heat, then reduce the heat and cook, covered with a lid, for about 1 hour. The fire should be minimal so that each grain has time to fill with water. If necessary, you can add a little water, about 50 ml.

7. Step 6:

   

   When all the liquid has evaporated, add butter to the porridge, wait until it melts and mix. For a lean version of the dish, you can replace butter with any vegetable oil. You can let the porridge brew a little by holding it in a warm place. In my childhood, my grandmother wrapped a pot of porridge in a warm blanket.

8. Step 7:

   

   Serve the porridge to the table warm. Bon appetit!
