Aseeda

Ingredients

• 200g Durum semolina
• 500ml Water
• 1/2 TL Salt
• 80g Unsalted butter
• 4 EL Honey
• 1/2 TL Cardamom powder
• 1 Prise Saffron threads
• 2 EL Chopped almonds
• 1 EL Rose water

Instructions

1. In a medium-sized pot, bring the water to a rolling boil and add the salt. Ensure the salt is fully dissolved.
2. Gradually whisk the durum semolina into the boiling water in a slow stream to prevent lumps from forming. Stir vigorously with a whisk for 2-3 minutes.
3. Reduce the heat to low, add the cardamom powder and saffron threads, and let the semolina cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes until it is thick and creamy. If desired, stir in the rose water and mix well.
4. Meanwhile, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. The butter should just melt, not brown.
5. Immediately spoon the aseeda into individual serving bowls. Using a spoon, create a small well in the center of each serving.
6. Drizzle each serving generously with melted butter and honey. Garnish with chopped almonds and serve immediately while warm.
