Features cooking crumbly millet porridge

In the modern world there are many products, the use of which will help both to achieve pleasure and to get the necessary charge with all useful components. For example, many people think that millet porridge is not an ideal snack. There are enough reasons for this opinion. The most common can be attributed to the lack of knowledge about the features of the preparation of crumbly millet porridge.

Many cooks who have significant experience in preparing such dishes, note the existence of a number of features that should be taken into account regardless of the implementation of which particular recipe is in question.

The main requirements for the selection of cereals can be attributed to the following factors.

1. To ensure that porridge is not rancid, it is necessary to carefully look at the date of its production. Even if 2-3 months remain before the expiration date, it is better to refuse such a purchase, as the product may deteriorate due to improper storage.
2. It is best to give preference to the product in plastic packaging that protects it from additional moisture.
3. A tasty porridge can only be obtained from the yellow nucleoli, which at the same time indicates both the freshness of the grain and the fact that the product has undergone the correct grinding process.

Any grain is characterized by the presence of a small amount of dust and oils, which stimulate the process of gluing the grains during the cooking process. The main task of any culinary specialist is to get rid of these substances. To achieve a positive result, the grits are thoroughly washed under boiling water. It can be difficult to do. It is best to pour the cereal into a container and pour it with the appropriate amount of water (for example, you can take 100 grams of all the necessary components). Next, you need to bring the cereal to the boiling process, pour everything into a pre-washed sieve and rinse well under water from the tap. All of these steps help to maximize cleaning cereals.

Another secret is the competent selection of butter, which should be used to fill the already prepared dish. Since so many citizens are extremely wary of such products, not all tend to add it to food.

Many housewives are well aware that it is possible to cook porridge on the basis of both water and milk. In both cases, the product should get tasty and crumbly.

To implement the first option will need the following ingredients:

• 1 cup of cereal;
• 2.5 glasses of purified water;
• salt;
• butter.

Since croup often contains various impurities (for example, dark colored grains), it is necessary to sort it out. So that the product does not taste bitter, you need to dab the base of the product with boiling water and hold it for about 5 minutes (no more, as the swelling process starts, which may not in the best way affect the taste of the product). After that, with the help of a sieve, the water is drained and the croup is examined again (if any impurities remain, it is necessary to remove them). Next, the wheat must be washed a couple of times in warm water and proceed to the cooking process.

No matter how strange it might sound, but the dishes used to prepare the dish, can affect its taste properties. To make porridge crumbly, it is best to pick up a thick and deep pan (most optimally from cast iron). The prepared croup is laid out in it, water is poured in, and everything is put on the middle fire. It is not recommended to cover the container with a lid, immediately after the start of boiling you need to add salt, then boil the cereal no longer than 7 minutes.Such a relatively short preparation period is due to the proper conduct of all the necessary preparatory activities that help the grains to become much softer.

To make the dish at the same time attractive to taste, and retain the maximum amount of useful substances, you should not immediately serve it to the table. After the porridge is filled with butter (you can use both butter and melted), you need to mix everything, cover with a lid and wrap in a warm towel for 10 minutes. This will help the porridge to absorb all the necessary liquid and swell. Compliance with all the rules of cooking will help make the grain crumbly, even after cooling.

An alternative option is millet porridge with milk, the basic ingredients of which are:

• about 1 standard cup of cereal;
• 2 glasses of water;
• 3 cups of medium-fat milk;
• salt and sugar;
• butter.

Water is poured into the pot and brought to a boil. After this, it is necessary to pour in the grits, which have undergone thorough preparation, and again bring everything to a boil over slightly lowered fire (cook for 5 minutes). Then the future dish must be removed from the stove, fold back the basis of milk porridge in a colander and rinse everything in hot water.

After that, a glass of milk is poured into the pan, and it is put on gas. When it boils, you need to add sugar, salt and millet. Cooking porridge occurs on low heat until the moment when the milk is not completely absorbed. Next, several thin pieces of butter are put on the porridge, and it is stewed over low heat for 5 minutes. In order for the dish to infuse and acquire additional attractive taste, it is necessary to wrap it with warm cloth and leave it for half an hour.

In recent years, technical progress has reached not only computers, but also kitchen appliances. One of the most favorite achievements for many housewives is the slow cooker, with which you can also cook a full and tasty dish. For example, crumbly millet porridge with meat.

The main ingredients are:

• 2 cups (use a special container designed for multicookers) millet groats;
• one onion root and carrot root of average size;
• meat fillet - 600 grams;
• salt, various seasonings (it is best to use cumin and black pepper);
• a large bunch of dill.

Initially, the meat is washed and cut into cubes of medium size, millet porridge is carefully sorted and washed. In a slow cooker, an optimal baking mode is selected, meat is added and cooked for no longer than 30 minutes. Vegetables are cleaned, added to meat and roasted for no more than 7 minutes. At the final stage of cooking, the grits and spices are added.

Many are interested in the question of choosing the most appropriate type of meat in order to make the dish as tasty as possible. There is no unambiguous criterion in such a case, it all depends strictly on personal preferences, as well as on what spices were used as a supplement. For example, if you use cumin, then in such a case the best meat options are lamb and pork (you need to thoroughly clean them of fat). If necessary, prepare diet varieties worth paying attention to chicken and beef.Additional spices that provide the dish with the most pleasant and rich taste are garlic and basil.

Thus, there are a significant number of options to cook millet for a side dish, you only need to find the most suitable option for yourself and strictly follow these recommendations.
