Mamounieh – Semolina Pudding

Another childhood memory crafted in one of my mom’s delicious baking is this pudding called Mamounieh.

I grew up watching my mom bake all sorts of desserts from all sorts of cuisines. I enjoyed seeing her in action as well as helping her and my favorite part was licking the spatulas when she finishes 😉

This gratifying pudding is loaded with gluten which is the semolina and loaded with flavors where the combination of my favorite spice the Cinnamon and the roasted semolina makes up a great comfort dessert that can be devoured warm or cold from the fridge. I hope you enjoy baking and tasting as much as I do.

Bon Appétit.

Instructions
  1. Simmer the water and sugar together
  2. Melt the butter in a big pan and add the semolina to it. Mix until the semolina becomes roasted and slightly changes color.
  3. Add the hot syrup that you previously prepared to the semolina, a little bit at a time while continuing to stir. Then add the cinnamon powder.
  4. Cover the pan and cook on a low heat for about 10 minutes until the excess water evaporates. I personally prefer to stir and check every 4 minutes while
  5. Remove from the heat and let it rest for around 5 min before pouring them into individual cups. Decorate with roasted pines.
