Millet porridge may have an unpleasant bitter taste. Not everyone notices it, but gourmets may be upset. No one says that this is a mistake or improper preparation.
Rather, it is a lack of experience. And getting rid of this unpleasant taste will not be difficult.
How to cook millet properly
It's no secret that most grains need to be soaked before cooking.
Peas, beans, and legumes are mostly soaked. Buckwheat is soaked when it is cooked without boiling.
The remaining cereals, including millet, are washed.
But to prevent millet from becoming bitter, experienced housewives do the following.
1. Sort out any debris from the cereal, rinse, and place in a bowl or saucepan.
2. Pour hot boiled water over the millet and let stand for 15 minutes.
3. During this time, the water will become cloudy. It needs to be drained, the cereal rinsed, filled with cool water and left in the water for another 15 minutes.
If desired, the procedure can be repeated 2-3 more times.
But there is an easier way. To do this, pour the washed cereal into a saucepan with water in a ratio of 1:1 and put it on the fire.
After the water boils, it is drained, the millet is thrown into a sieve, washed, filled with clean water and put on the fire, after which it is brought to readiness.
