Spiced Pumpkin Porridge with Star Anise

Smooth, comforting, and delicately spiced, this Pumpkin Porridge with Star Anise brings the cozy flavors of fall to your table. Made with Eastanbul’s premium Cinnamon, Cloves, and Star Anise, it’s a naturally sweet and aromatic dish that’s perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Chef’s Tip: For extra richness, swirl in a spoonful of Eastanbul Tahini before serving — it adds a nutty flavor and smooth texture that perfectly complements the spiced pumpkin.
