Method of Preparation

• Soak rice overnight and rinse it in the morning. In a large pot, add 4 cups of water and rice, bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook for 20 minutes. Add ½ teaspoon of salt when it is almost ready and mix well. Once the rice is ready, drain it and put aside.
• Cut the pumpkin into several slices and peel them.
• Chop or grate pumpkin slices. You can also chop them in a food processor, but not too finely.
• Place grated pumpkin in a pot, pour over milk, and put the mixture to a boil. Once the milk starts to boil, reduce heat to medium, and cover the pot with a lid.
• Cook pumpkin with milk for about 20 minutes.
• Once the pumpkin is tender, add cooked rice, mix well, and let the porridge simmer on low heat under the lid for 5 minutes. Add salt to taste.
• Serve warm with butter.
