I make pumpkin porridge only from millet. I know that there is another option with the addition of rice and it is called, in my opinion, "Friendship". But I don't like this option. In recent years, I only make it in a slow cooker, because it greatly speeds up the process and the result is always guaranteed to be delicious. But there is one important rule - the pumpkin should be initially very good - fragrant and sweet. I like two varieties the most: completely green on the outside and bright orange inside (I don’t know the variety) and Butternut. To measure, I used the small glass that came with the multicooker.

How to cook Millet porridge with pumpkin in a slow cooker

Step 1

We place the pumpkin in the multicooker bowl, put a piece of butter and set the "baking" program for 20 minutes so that it sweats. You can interfere once.

Step 2

Add all other ingredients and mix gently (if you want to keep a little bit of the pumpkin shape). We put the program "porridge" for 25 minutes.

Step 3

After time, a very tasty and fragrant porridge is obtained. We put a small piece of butter on top of it to melt, and you need to eat with a large spoon while it is hot.
