Millet Porridge with Pumpkin

Ingredients

• 200 g (1 cup) millet, rinsed well
• 400 g (14 oz) pumpkin or squash, diced
• 800 ml (3⅓ cups) water
• 2 tbsp honey or sugar
• A pinch of salt
• Raisins and walnuts

Method

1. Pour boiling water over the millet, drain, and repeat. This removes the bitterness.
2. Simmer the pumpkin in the water for 10 minutes.
3. Add the millet and salt and cook on low, stirring now and then, for 20 minutes until thick.
4. Stir in the honey and raisins and top with walnuts.

Tip. Traditionally baked in a clay pot in the Russian stove. A covered dish in the oven works too.
