Ingredients

Wheat groats – 170 g
Water – 700 ml
Salt – 0.5 teaspoon
Butter (optional) – 45 g

Instructions

Pour the groats with plenty of water, stir and remove the debris that floats. Rinse the cereals thoroughly, fold them onto a fine sieve and, when all the water has drained off, transfer the clean cereals to a saucepan with a thick bottom.
Pour 700 ml of pure water into a saucepan, add salt. Cover the pan with a lid, put on high heat. Bring to a boil and remove any foam that forms.
Then reduce heat to low and, stirring occasionally, cook wheat porridge for 25-30 minutes, until the cereal is soft.
Then turn off the heating and, if desired, add butter to the porridge, stir. Also, if you wish, you can wrap the pot with ready-made wheat porridge with a towel or blanket and let it stand for 20 minutes – the wheat porridge will evaporate and become more tender.
Wheat porridge on the water is ready! Such porridge is most delicious when hot, and when it stands for a while, it becomes more dense and gelatinous.

Enjoy your meal!
