Arnautka porridge in a slow cooker

There are several secrets in the preparation of wheat porridge, and one of them is the choice of cereals. To get a tender porridge that will be both delicious and beautiful-looking, you need to choose the right products. An excellent variety of cereals, from which exactly such a dish will turn out, is arnautka. It is made from spring wheat and has a larger, coarser grind compared to other varieties. This cereal is clean, does not require extra time for sorting and repeated washing to remove debris.

Proportions are an important stage in the preparation of arnautka porridge. The most reliable way is to measure the required amount of cereals on the kitchen scales - in this case, the risk of error is minimized.

Fill the weighted part of the cereal with cold water, stir with a spoon and drain. Immediately after that, fill the cereal with cold water again, mix it with your hand. This is necessary so that starch disappears from the porridge - it dissolves in water with a white suspension. It is not recommended to rinse in warm water, because it is cold water that pulls starch out of cereals better.

We transfer the washed grits to the bowl of the slow cooker. On the same kitchen scales, we measure the required amount of water, pour it over the cereal. Close the lid and set the slow cooker to the "Porridge" or "Cereals" mode, depending on the model. The cooking time of the porridge is 30 minutes, during which time it will absorb all the water, but it will remain crumbly and appetizing. If the porridge was loaded into the slow cooker in the evening, select the delayed start program and set a shorter time - 20 minutes will be enough. At the end of the process, add butter, mix it with a wooden, plastic or silicone spatula. Do not use metal appliances so as not to damage the bowl of the slow cooker. We serve porridge to the table hot.

Have a delicious breakfast! Have a good day!
