OMANI KHABEESA -- FARINA OR 'CREAM OF WHEAT'
When I discovered how few recipes representing Oman were on the site, I went searching. The NA/ME Forum will be spending January 2013 exploring the country & here is my culinary contribution. **2 of 3 people LOVED this! It took awhile for it all to come to a boil & from there I simmered 5 minutes. It thickened upon standing. Enjoy!**

KHABEESA (OMANI BREAKFAST ITEM)
I found this on the Desitwist website, and I wanted it to complete my A to Z collection of recipes (my Around the World Cookbook). Also known as Farina, Sameed, Cream of Wheat. Serving size is a guess. I definitely recommend a nonstick saucepan. This worked fine with fat free milk and "quick" farina. If you are not used to cardamon, you might want to reduce the amount.

Found on http://arabic-food.blogspot.com/. I have seen elswhere that it is common to Oman. I'm posting it here because I want to try it soon. I'm guessing at the yield, the photo on the recipe shows it in 4 pieces made in different sized and shaped molds.

Steps:
- Sift the flour and add it to a large saucepan placed over medium heat. Toss flour and stir continuously until golden brown. Remove from heat and sift again.

Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to prevent the farina from sticking and burning.
- Bring the milk to a boil before adding the farina: This will help to prevent the farina from clumping.
- Stir the farina constantly while cooking: This will help to prevent the farina from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Cook the farina until it is thick and creamy: This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Sweeten the farina to taste: You can use sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
- Serve the farina hot or cold: Farina can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
