Pumpkin porridge in pumpkin with butter

Since our porridge will languish in the oven, let's turn it on right away, let it heat up to 180200 degrees.

If you have a small pumpkin weighing about 0.7 kg, cut off its top (200 g). This billet will become a vessel for us, in which the porridge will be prepared.

Remove the seeds, clean them as much as possible from the fibers, of which there are plenty inside.

And now let's get down to the actual cooking of porridge. Peel the cut-off top, it will help us get the pulp of the pumpkin. And if you come across a specimen with thick sides, cut it as much as possible, chop it into a small cube or grate it on a grater, as I did. After all, such porridge is more tender.

Let's wash millet groats. This process is important, because rancid wheat will spoil the taste of the whole dish. Therefore, we spare neither time nor effort. You can even pour boiling water over the cereal.

By the way, about the amount of cereals. It is necessary to calculate it so that the porridge turns out to be porridge. So, if the cereal is clean, let's collect porridge. There are two options here – mix the millet and pumpkin pulp and put the pumpkins inside, or lay it all out in layers. At the mixing stage, let's add sugar.

We need to pour this mass with milk, diluted in half with water. Why is it desirable to dilute? Because, as my personal experience has shown, the millet in milk does not steam very well. It should be taken into account that there should be at least 2 cm to the top after that.

It remains to lay a piece of butter on top and cover our edible saucepan with the very tip from which we cut the pulp.

To make the pumpkin steamed even better, I wrapped this structure in foil and sent it to bake.

My pumpkin was baked for two hours. I realized that this was due to the fact that I removed a little pulp from the walls of the pumpkin. But, I will tell you that the porridge turned out to be gorgeous, and the pumpkin itself, which you can eat by scraping the tender pulp from the walls with a spoon. You can put more butter and sprinkle with something delicious.
