Guriev-Style Semolina Porridge with Walnuts

A wholesome, nourishing porridge for grown-ups and kids alike. My family loves having porridge for breakfast — a healthy habit we picked up after my husband had to go on a strict diet. The need to watch his diet passed long ago, but the morning-porridge routine stuck, and we've raised our kids on it, too. Of course, I have to get creative: I often come up with recipes myself, swap ingredients, and add my own touches. Here's one of them.

    Here's how I serve it: spoon a layer of porridge into the middle of the plate, then a layer of the reserved cream skins, then more porridge, and so on. Finish with a sprinkle of sugar and breadcrumbs on top. For the kids, I decorate the porridge with fruit and jam.
