Wheat porridge in a pot
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Although I mentioned in the ingredients list that you can cook it with pork, I personally prefer beef. However, like poultry, beef can let down an inexperienced cook with its leanness: for dishes like porridge, fat is essential—only then will the dish turn out satisfying and delicious. So if your beef is very lean, make sure the porridge doesn't end up too dry. To prevent this, add a teaspoon of butter to each baking dish—I guarantee the result! Actually, the recipe for wheat porridge in a baking dish doesn't necessarily have to include meat—sweet porridge cooked with milk this way is also very tasty. Add a pinch of nutmeg and a bit of cinnamon to each dish, pour in fresh milk, and bake in the oven for half an hour. I assure you, you've never tasted porridge like this. Serve the finished dish immediately.

Step 6
Place the meat at the bottom of the prepared pots, then add onion and carrot. The top layer should be the grain. Put half a bay leaf and one peppercorn into each pot. Add salt. Pour boiling water over the ingredients, cover the pots with lids, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 1 hour. Serve hot!
