Method

  1. Steam the semolina 3 times, rubbing it with butter between each steaming.

  2. Make a topping of caramelised onions with raisins, honey and cinnamon (tfaya).

  3. If adding meat or chicken, cook it separately in a light broth.

  4. Serve the semolina topped with the sweet raisin and onion tfaya; it is the quintessential festive dish.
