Semolina porridge is a referred to as a cereal. It is boiled to produce a porridge; a popular brand of this is Taystee Wheat or Cream of Wheat. This porridge is most popular in South Africa, United States of America & Poland.

Growing up, I remember always troubling my late grandmother to prepare this porridge for me. I love it when the semolina grains are a bit swelled & feel like tiny beads in your mouth. If you haven’t tried it yet, give it a chance & trust me you will be preparing this very often.

The semolina is cooked in water, milk or a blend of the two. You can make it as thick or weak as you prefer & as sweet as you need.

It’s a healthy & warm start to the day, not forgetting, a very filling meal – although I can eat this meal all day long because that’s how good it tastes.

Semolina is coarse, refined wheat middlings of durum wheat essentially utilized as a part of making pasta & couscous.

 

Semolina Porridge Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup semolina (85 grams)
  
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons sugar (depending on how sweet you prefer it)
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups boiling water

Method:

1. 1. In a medium sized pot, add in the semolina. I have used the Snowflake brand but you may use whichever brand you prefer.
   2. 
   3. 
   4. Next, add in the salt.
   5. 
   6. Then add in the sugar.
   7. 
   8. Pour in ½ cup of the boiling water.
   9. 
   10. Thereafter, pour in the milk.
   11. 
   12. Turn the stove on to medium high heat & begin stirring the mixture continuously with a whisk or a fork.
   13. 
   14. After a minute, you will notice the mixture beginning to thicken.
   15. 
   16. Pour in a little boiling water at a time & continue stirring for 5 minutes.
   17.

   22. Do a taste check for the sweetness & add more sugar if required.
