You’ll only find this soup served for breakfast in people’s homes. It’s a favorite of children, much like oatmeal was for me growing up in the United States. It’s very simple to make and is savory, not sweet - a mistake I made the first time I tried it!
INGREDIENTS
◊ 1 cup of fine semolina
◊ 2 cups water
◊ 2 tablespoon good quality olive oil
◊ 1 teaspoon cumin
◊ 1/2 teaspoon salt
◊ 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
◊ 1/2 - 1 cup of milk
DIRECTIONS
◊ In a medium saucepan begin to heat water on medium- high heat. Pour in the oil and slowly add the semolina and whisk. The key to this is a smooth texture so whisking while cooking is necessary.
◊ Add the cumin, salt and pepper and continue to whisk. Once the mixture starts to slowly bubble add half of the milk, turn down the heat to low and continue mixing.
◊ The consistency of this is slightly thicker than a soup but should still be a liquid. If it gets too tight, add more milk. Cook on low for 1-2 minutes to blend flavors.
◊ Serve in a bowl, sprinkled with cumin on top. Dates are traditionally served on the side with a hot cup of mint tea.
