Semolina has always surprised me because all other grains (rice, buckwheat, couscous...) need to be cooked in a 2:1 ratio, that is, two volumes of water, one volume of cereal, but with semolina it’s different. For a whole full mug (250 ml) of milk you need only 1 tablespoon of semolina. It boils so badly. Although, if you think about it, this is not surprising - there is a lot of starch in it.

If the child is thin, you need to feed him semolina porridge - it helps to gain weight. In general, semolina porridge is recommended to be given to children from 9 months to 1 year. I have studied this issue thoroughly ( book by Professor A.N. Antonov "Children's Nutrition".) and now I know exactly how to prepare semolina porridge, preserving the maximum beneficial substances of milk, semolina itself and butter added to semolina porridge.

1. Pour the milk into a saucepan (I use a small aluminum one) and bring to a boil, but do not boil! It is important not to boil milk, because its beneficial properties are killed by boiling. Moreover, repeated boiling is contraindicated for milk. And unboiled milk contains a full composition of useful substances - this is an amazing product. Probably the only one containing such a rich variety (full spectrum) of all vitamins and minerals.
2. Add a tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of salt to the milk and stir.
3. When the milk is close to boiling, arm yourself with a fork and a tablespoon filled with semolina (if with a slide, the porridge will be thicker, if without a slide, it will be thinner).
4. We begin to shake the spoon so that grains of semolina fall into the milk and immediately stir it all with a fork (whisk like a whisk - we break up potential lumps).
5. When all the semolina is in the milk, continue stirring and cook until the semolina swells - until the porridge is ready. It will take about 4 minutes - but see for yourself, it all depends on the semolina itself, it can also be different.
6. When the porridge is ready, turn off the heat and add butter. The fact is that butter, if we want to preserve the vitamins A and C it contains, cannot be boiled. It must be placed in already prepared porridge.
7. Pour the porridge into plates (you can put the oil directly into the plates), and the porridge can be served.
8. And one more nuance. Before serving, before it has an eater, the porridge must be stirred (every 2 minutes), otherwise a film may form on its surface, which will turn into lumps.

You can also use semolina to make soufflé, pudding, mousse, semolina dumplings (very tasty!), manna pie (it’s especially cool to decorate it with fresh berries), it can be added to chopped meat for cutlets and meatballs, you can make pancakes, meatballs from it, and you can add it to soup as a filling.

What are the benefits of semolina porridge?

The benefits of semolina porridge have been proven repeatedly. No wonder it was so popular during the Soviet period and was an integral part of breakfast both in many families and in children's institutions...

Like many other cereals, semolina good for the stomach, for those who suffer from peptic ulcers, gastritis and other intestinal diseases. For breakfast you should not eat fried toast, but porridge. Liquid semolina is very suitable for dietary nutrition. It is good because there are practically no allergies to it (except perhaps to the milk with which it is prepared)

Semolina contains seventy percent starch, a lot of proteins, vitamins and minerals, and in the recipe I described how to prepare it in such a way as to preserve all this: semolina porridge has little fiber, and it is recommended during the postoperative period and during exhaustion. In case of chronic kidney failure, for example, dishes prepared from protein-free cereals are recommended - in this case, semolina is irreplaceable.

That's it, the delicious liquid semolina porridge is ready. You can add more oil directly to the plate before serving.

It will be even tastier if you replace 150 ml of milk from the total amount with 150 ml of boiled water. The whole point of successful semolina porridge is that for 1 tablespoon of semolina you need 150 ml of liquid. In a slow cooker, semolina porridge turns out to be extremely tender, because the porridge cooking temperature is automatically 90 degrees.

1. In a separate bowl, mix semolina with sugar and salt. Stirring constantly, add milk in a small stream and pour the contents of the bowl into the multicooker. These manipulations can be done directly in the cartoon, but, IMHO, it is better not to once again scratch the delicate surface of the electric assistant with sugar.
2. Add pieces of butter to the milk mixture.
3. Turn on the multicooker to the “Porridge” mode and turn off the multiplayer after 40 minutes without waiting for the automatic program to complete. Let it brew for 10 minutes and you can eat. If you forget to turn off the multicooker on time and it goes through the entire “Porridge” mode cycle to the end, you risk getting semolina casserole, so be vigilant, set a timer or alarm on your phone.

Having tasted it for breakfast, you can forget about food until lunch. Not every milk porridge is necessarily prepared with rice or millet. Today we will tell you how to cook liquid semolina.

Semolina porridge is a delicate matter

It is very important to know and understand that semolina is not exactly cereal, but processed coarse durum wheat flour. Its main feature is that it cooks very quickly and often curls into unappetizing lumps. Let's figure out how to cook liquid semolina with milk so that it turns out delicious:

• When preparing any milk porridge, the cereal should only be poured into boiling milk and stirred constantly. This rule must be especially strictly observed when cooking semolina porridge.
• A dish cooked in milk needs a little more salt than one cooked in water. In this case, you should first salt the milk, and then add the cereal.
• If you want to reduce the calorie content of the porridge, dilute the milk in half with water.
• To prevent foam from forming on the milk when boiling, it should be stirred. At the same time, it is better to boil the milk over medium heat, since at high heat it can simply burn or “run away” from the container.
• You also need to observe the correct ratio of ingredients. So, for liquid semolina per liter of milk, only 5 tablespoons of cereal will be enough.

An equally important aspect related to the cooking process is choosing the right utensils. It will be more comfortable to cook semolina in a pan with a thick bottom and a non-stick coating. It is this kind of dishes that will protect you from burning milk.
