Wheat porridge with butter without milk

Wheat Porridge with Butter (No Milk)

This tasty porridge makes a great side for any dish—and it's easy to make! I love wheat porridge. It's very wholesome, with a low glycemic index, which makes it suitable for kids' menus and ideal for a healthy diet, and it's a staple in athletes' meal plans. It's high in fiber and contains phosphorus, iron, and potassium. The groats come in two types—Poltava (usually just called wheat groats) and Artek. Today I made the Poltava kind. Even a kitchen beginner can make this porridge.

Cooking method

Cooking time: 30 min

Step 1:

The ingredients you'll need.
Step 2:

Pick through the groats for any small pebbles or bits of debris.
Step 3:

Rinse off the dust—I usually change the water twice.
Step 4:

Here's the rinsed groats—a lovely golden color.
Step 5:

Add the water, in a groats-to-water ratio of 1:2.
Step 6:

Add salt.
Step 7:

It's a good idea to cook it on a heat diffuser—extra insurance against the porridge scorching.
Step 8:

Bring it to a boil.
Step 9:

Lower the heat to its lowest setting.
Step 10:

Cook for 15–20 minutes with the lid slightly ajar, stirring every 5 minutes.
Step 11:

Once the water has been absorbed, the wheat porridge is nearly ready. Turn off the heat and add the butter.
Step 12:

You can't have too much butter in porridge—so go ahead and add another pat once it's in the bowl. Enjoy!
