Millet porridge with milk

2 servings

30 minutes

Millet porridge with milk is a dish with deep roots in European cuisine, especially popular in Slavic countries. Millet has long been valued for its nutritional value and mild nutty flavor. Combined with milk, it acquires a delicate creamy texture, creating a comforting and warming dish. A light sweetness from added sugar or a slight saltiness makes the porridge versatile – it can be served as a standalone breakfast or as a side dish to meat or vegetables. Butter added at the end enhances the creamy flavor and makes the porridge even richer. This is an ideal option for those who appreciate simplicity and the traditions of home cooking.
