Sago porridge with butter is a simple yet nutritious dish from Russian cuisine. Sago, derived from starch, transforms into a tender, slightly elastic mass when cooked, perfectly complemented by butter that adds a velvety flavor and a light creamy note to the porridge. In the past, this dish was often served in Russian homes as a hearty breakfast or dinner that warms on cold days. Due to its soft texture, it is suitable for both adults and children. The porridge is easily digestible and can serve as a base for various culinary experiments — it can be served with berries, honey, or nuts, turning it into a true delicacy. This is an example of how a refined and cozy dish emerges from a minimal set of ingredients.
