Tunisian Mesfouf Recipe

Yields6 ServingsPrep Time50 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time1 hr 10 mins

Comforting dessert with multiple colors and flavors. Unlike savory dishes, this preparation does not use any seasoned broth; only the steam from the water in the pot ensures the cooking.

Ingredients
 1 Olive oil
 500 Fine semolina
 100 Date
 2 Pomegranate
 50 Grape
 2 Sugar
 2 Rose water
 100 Butter
Directions
1

Moisten the semolina by covering it with cold water. Remove the excess water. Let the semolina rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

2

Preheat the water in the bottom part of the steamer. Steam the semolina in the top part of the steamer.

3

When it cracks on the surface, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle it with your fingertips, then roll it between your hands while eliminating all the lumps.

4

Put the semolina back in the steamer and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and moisten a little if it seems dry.

5

As soon as the semolina is cooked and very hot, add the butter, sugar, and rosewater.

6

To finish, mix well with a fork. Garnish with fresh and dried fruits.
