Step 1:

How do you make semolina porridge with pumpkin? Gather the ingredients. If you're making it for a child, I'd suggest choosing an orange, sweet variety of pumpkin. If your pumpkin isn't very sweet, add more sugar or honey to taste. You can use any semolina. You can also use frozen pumpkin.
Step 2:

Wash the pumpkin, peel it, and remove the core with the seeds. Cut the flesh into small cubes (or grate it, in which case the pumpkin will be almost invisible in the porridge and will cook faster) and put it in a pot. Cover it with water so it sits about an inch above the pumpkin. Set the pot on the stove. When the water boils, lower the heat to medium and cook the pumpkin for about 15 minutes.
Step 3:

Then pour the milk into the pot. Add sugar and salt to taste. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes from the time it comes back to a boil.
Step 4:

Start adding the semolina to the pot of pumpkin. Pour the semolina from the cup in a thin stream while stirring constantly with your other hand, so it doesn't clump or stick to the bottom. Cook the porridge for another 5–7 minutes, stirring. When it starts to thicken, turn off the heat.
Step 5:

Cover the pot and let the porridge sit, covered, for about 20 minutes.
Step 6:

Then divide the porridge among bowls and add a pat of butter. You can garnish it with a sprig of fresh herbs. Enjoy your meal!

Everyone knows how good pumpkin is for you. This vegetable contains a huge amount of nutrients and vitamins—A, B, C, PP—plus iron, calcium, and many others the body needs. Pumpkin goes into all sorts of dishes: porridges, desserts, baked goods, soups. But not everyone likes the vegetable on its own. Pumpkin pairs well with many ingredients that help mask its distinctive taste and make a dish even tastier. Semolina, for example, complements pumpkin perfectly in any dish—together they make delicious porridges, casseroles, and soups.

For cooking, it's best to use filtered or bottled water with a neutral taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant off-flavor.
