How to make the porridge
Start by preparing 100 g of pumpkin flesh. You should peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds and cut the pumpkin flesh into small pieces. This autumn classic is characterized by its rich taste and characteristic orange color.
Now place the prepared pumpkin pieces and 2 tablespoons of rice in a pan. You can add water to cover the ingredients. Cook over a medium heat until both the rice and the pumpkin are soft. This steaming process preserves the full flavor and nutrients of the ingredients and is perfect for the fall season.
Once the rice and pumpkin have reached the desired consistency, you can puree them into a creamy mash. A hand blender or mixer is ideal for ensuring that the porridge has an even texture.
Now that your pumpkin and rice porridge is ready, you can warm it up in the LIINI porridge warmer. This practical warmer ensures that the porridge is at the ideal temperature for your baby without you having to constantly monitor the microwave.
This seasonal pumpkin and rice porridge is not only delicious, but also rich in the flavors of autumn. Enjoy this hearty porridge during the chilly fall days!
