Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams semolina
- 500 ml water
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 small lemon, zest only
- 1 medium carrot, finely diced
- 100 grams green peas
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Gradually add the semolina to the boiling water while stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent lumps.
Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring until the semolina thickens, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the unsalted butter to the semolina and stir until fully melted and incorporated.
Gently fold in the diced carrot and green peas, allowing them to cook in the semolina mixture for another 5 minutes until they are tender.
Stir in the freshly chopped parsley, ground black pepper, and lemon zest.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the semoule cuite rest for 2 minutes to absorb flavors and achieve the perfect creamy consistency.
Serve hot as a side dish or a light main course, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
