  • How do you cook wheat porridge with meat? There are a few ways to make it — in a slow cooker, in a clay pot, in the oven, or in a skillet — so pick whichever suits you. I made mine in a deep skillet. Any meat works here: pork for something juicier and richer, or beef or chicken if you want it leaner. I went with beef, which gave the dish a fuller flavor and adds iron — good for keeping your hemoglobin up. Rinse the groats thoroughly; it's easiest in a deep bowl, and you want to rinse under running water until it runs clear. Put the groats in a saucepan, cover with fresh cold water, and set over the heat. Once it comes to a boil, lower the heat and cook for about 25 minutes from the time it starts boiling, adding a little salt toward the end. By then almost all the water should have cooked off; if some remains, keep it on the heat and stir now and then. While the porridge cooks, work on the meat. Rinse it well, cut it into small pieces (so it cooks faster), and pat them dry with paper towels. Pour oil into the skillet and heat it up. Add the meat and brown it over medium heat on all sides. Peel and dice the onion, then add it to the meat. Stir and fry for another 10 minutes. Pour in about half a cup of water, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the cooked wheat groats to the skillet, stir, taste, and adjust with salt, ground black pepper, and any other spices you like. Keep it on the heat 5 more minutes. Turn off the heat, let the porridge rest under the lid, and serve. Enjoy!
