Semolina Porridge with Milk and Water
Minimum calories, maximum flavor! This is a special semolina porridge! I love semolina, but I don't want to take in extra calories — and that's the catch. Porridge is great made with milk, with butter, and on the sweeter side. But I found my golden mean: I dilute the milk with water, skip the butter, and use less sugar — so I get to eat my favorite porridge without it going to my waistline!

- Pour the water and milk into a saucepan.
- Set the pan over the heat and bring the liquid to a boil.
- Add the semolina to the boiling liquid in a thin stream, whisking constantly to keep a steady "whirlpool" going. This keeps lumps from forming, which you really don't want in the finished dish. (Some also suggest adding the semolina through a sieve — I haven't tried that, so I recommend the tried-and-true whisk method.)
- Add a pinch of salt and cook for 2 minutes, then add the sugar, stir, cover the pan, and wrap it in a towel.
- After 10 minutes, it's ready to serve.
- Enjoy!
