Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to cook a simple semolina on water? Yes, it's very simple. First, prepare all the necessary ingredients. They can be found in almost any home.
Step 2:
Pour water into a saucepan and put it on medium heat. Bring the water to a boil and add sugar. You can take absolutely any sugar, and cane sugar will give the porridge a light touch of caramel.
Step 3:
Add salt to the pan and stir until the sugar and salt dissolve. It is better to salt with coarse salt, since it is easy to over-salt with fine salt.
Step 4:
Bring the water to a boil and, stirring with a whisk counterclockwise, create a funnel. Sprinkle the semolina in a thin trickle at the very edge of the pan, without stopping stirring. This will allow the cereal to be evenly distributed in the water and not form lumps.
Step 5:
Stirring intensively, cook the porridge over medium heat for 2-3 minutes after the first "broths". Remove from the heat and taste it. If necessary, add salt or sweeten the porridge.
Step 6:
Cover the pan with a lid and wrap it with a thick towel for about 10 minutes. During this time, the porridge will infuse and become ready. Now you can put it on plates and put butter. And vegetable oil, jam or berries are suitable for the lean version.
Step 7:
Bon appetit.
Semolina has several brands on which the consistency and taste of porridge will depend. The "T" brand is made from durum wheat and is more suitable for minced meat, soups and casseroles. Semolina brand "M" is made from soft wheat varieties and is best suited for cooking porridge. This makes a more tender and homogeneous porridge.
Instead of sugar, you can use a sweetener that is not afraid of heat treatment.
For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.
If you think that semolina is the easiest option, then you are very mistaken. Yes, it is done quickly, without much expense and hassle, but even here there are little tricks that will help you cook it tasty and without lumps.
