Prepare the fruits: wash the strawberries under cold water, remove the stems, and cut them in half or into quarters depending on their size. Wash the rhubarb, trim the ends, and cut it into pieces 1.5-2 cm long. Do not peel completely; just remove the tough fibers if there are any.
Description
Delicate semolina pudding prepared with milk, served with a slightly sour rhubarb compote and fresh strawberries. This is a classic, simple vegetarian dessert that works well as an afternoon snack or a light dessert after dinner. The pudding has a creamy texture and a subtle vanilla flavor that contrasts with the tangy rhubarb caramelized with a bit of sugar. The dish looks appetizing: light, creamy pudding with pink fruit accents and a green mint leaf as decoration. Easy to make in 20 minutes, it uses seasonal spring ingredients.

Preparation steps
Rhubarb-Strawberry Compote
In a medium saucepan, place the rhubarb, add 40 g of sugar (half the portion) and 50 ml of water. Set over medium heat and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring every 1-2 minutes. The rhubarb should soften and start to break down, and the liquid should take on a pink color.
When the rhubarb is soft, add the chopped strawberries and cook for another 2-3 minutes - the strawberries should release juice but retain their shape. Taste and sweeten with the remaining amount of sugar (the second 40 g) if necessary. Remove from heat and set aside; the compote will thicken slightly as it cools.
Porridge
In a round container with a capacity of about 2 liters, heat the milk until just before boiling (small bubbles at the edges, temperature around 80°C). Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from burning.
When the milk is hot, reduce the heat to low. Gradually sprinkle in the semolina while continuously whisking vigorously with a whisk or wooden spoon to prevent lumps from forming. Add vanilla sugar (8 g) and 20 g of sugar from the total amount if you want a sweeter porridge.
Cook the porridge over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. The consistency should be thick and creamy; if it is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk. Finally, add 1 g of salt and 20 g of butter, and mix until the butter melts.
Assembly and serving
On the plate, place the porridge: use a ladle or a large spoon to add a portion of porridge, next to or on top, spoon a few tablespoons of slightly cooled rhubarb-strawberry compote. Add fresh strawberry slices for decoration.
Decoration (optional)
If using, add a dollop of sour cream 60 g on top and sprinkle with 30 g of chopped walnuts. Alternatively, you can add fresh mint or lemon zest.
Fun Fact
Semolina has been a popular breakfast and dessert dish in European kitchens since the 19th century; in Poland, it was often served with seasonal fruits, especially in the summer.

Tips
Serve the porridge immediately after preparation, while it is still warm. For a contrast of temperatures and textures, add a cold dollop of cream or yogurt and crunchy nuts. You can also serve it in small bowls per portion.
Store the porridge and compote separately in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. Before reheating the porridge, thin it out with a little milk and heat it over low heat, stirring vigorously to regain its creamy consistency.
