Syrian Semolina Pudding. I am intrigued by the use of semolina for dessert (see Recipe #456067 for example) and until fairly recently have only used it for bread baking. I found this recipe in the cookbook 'Recipes for an Arabian Night' by David Scott. Good for breakfast or dessert!

Categories     Breakfast

Time 13m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup semolina (I used semolina flour)
2/3 cup sugar (which I reduced to 1/4 cup)
1 cup water
1 cup milk (I always use whole milk)
1/2 teaspoon rose water (add only 1/4 teaspoon at first then add more, to taste)
ground cinnamon
toasted sliced almonds
fresh rose petals, thinly sliced (optional) or dried rose petals, crushed (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a heavy pan. Lightly brown the semolina on LOW heat for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the sugar, water and milk in another pan and bring *almost* to a boil.
  • Once the semolina is done, gently stir in the sugar/milk mixture. Use a whisk to break up any lumps. Cook to desired consistency. For me, this step only took about 2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add a little bit of milk or water. Stir in the rosewater.
  • Spoon the semolina pudding into individual dessert cups and set aside to cool slightly. Cover and chill.
  • Note: for breakfast I ate this hot right out of the pan.
  • Just before serving, sprinkle the top of the pudding with ground cinnamon and garnish with the sliced almonds (and rose petals if using).

I'm allergic to lamb. Is there a vegetarian version of this recipe?

I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have any lamb. Do you think I could substitute another type of meat?

This dish was a great way to use up leftover lamb. It was easy to make and very flavorful.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add the spices.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as I expected. I think I might have overcooked the lamb.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
