Semolina porridge

A lovely breakfast made with semolina, well known and common across the Arab world. I serve it with cheese and pita bread.

Special ingredients: Semolina Amazon

Video in Spanish on my YouTube channel.

Ingredients

As I list them in the video description.

  • 2 ½ cups water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup semolina
  • 50 g unsalted butter
  • Cinnamon and pistachio to serve (optional)

How it's made, in short

  1. Use the same cup to measure the water, sugar and semolina.
  2. Heat the water with the sugar in a pot.
  3. In a skillet, melt half the butter and toast the semolina until it darkens.
  4. Add it to the boiling water and stir over low heat until it thickens; add the rest of the butter.
  5. Serve with cinnamon and, if you like, chopped pistachio.
