A delicious homestyle dish of millet porridge with pumpkin that many of us remember fondly from childhood. Of course, everyone makes it a little differently and has their own signature recipe. Here I'm sharing my version — it turns out incredibly tender, fragrant, and fluffy, enriched with raisins, cinnamon, and butter. I highly recommend giving it a try, and I hope you love it!

Ingredients:

400 g pumpkin (peeled)
200 g millet
1 L milk
3 tbsp raisins
2-3 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
50 g butter

How to cook millet porridge with pumpkin

Peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds and fibers, and cut into medium-sized pieces.

Pour the milk into a pot and bring to a boil. Add the pumpkin and cook for 5–10 minutes.

Add the salt, sugar, and cinnamon. Then add the rinsed millet, stir, and cook for 15–20 minutes.

Turn off the heat, add the rinsed raisins, and stir to combine.

Transfer the porridge to an oven-safe dish or divide it among individual ceramic pots.

Arrange slices of butter on top. Cover tightly with a lid (if you don't have a lid, wrap the dish tightly in foil). Place in an oven preheated to 180°C and bake for 30 minutes.
