Sweet Rice and Millet Porridge with Milk and Butter
A porridge made from a blend of rice and millet is a wonderful breakfast for kids and grown-ups alike. The two grains complement each other beautifully in flavor, and since they cook in about the same amount of time you can simmer them together with no fuss. The result is a dish with a fresh, very pleasant taste—and a great way to add variety to the kids' menu.

- I like to cook the rice and millet in water first so the grains soften fully without scorching, then add the milk right at the end. Here's how: measure out equal parts of each grain, 150 grams (about 3/4 cup) apiece, drop them straight into a saucepan, and rinse well under cold water. Cover the rinsed grains with 600 ml (about 2 1/2 cups) of water and set the pan over high heat. Bring it to a boil, give it a stir, then lower the heat to its lowest setting, cover the pan—leaving a wide gap for steam to escape—and cook for 25 minutes. Keep it at a gentle simmer; by the end most of the water will have cooked away. Uncover, stir, and season with half a teaspoon of salt and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Add the butter and stir until it melts. Pour in 300 ml (about 1 1/4 cups) of milk, stir again, cover, and let the porridge steam for another 5 minutes over the lowest heat. Spoon the rice-and-millet porridge into deep bowls and serve hot for breakfast.
