Wheat (durum)
4 Dash
Sea Salt
4 Cup
Water
0.5 Cup
Honey
0.25 Cup
Butter (no salt)

Method

  1. To cook assida, make sure you use a deep saucepan with a thick bottom. The small quantity of
    semolina plumps up significantly.
  2. Bring the water to a boil. You can shorten the time by using a kettle to boil the water then transfer
    it to the saucepan.
  3. Fold in the semolina and stir. Make sure the heat is medium. Keep stirring every now and then and
    make sure you don't stray too far from the pot. Let the semolina simmer for about 20 minutes. As
    the porridge thickens, keep stirring and tasting until the semolina has a tender melting bite.
  4. In a deep serving dish, pour the assida and scatter dots of good honey and cubes of good quality
    butter all around.
