Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup semolina
- 3 cups milk
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
- as desired fresh fruits, nuts, or honey (optional toppings)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, water, sugar, and salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and salt.
Slowly sprinkle the semolina into the simmering liquid while constantly whisking to prevent clumping.
Once all the semolina is incorporated, continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking or stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and allow the kasha to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan or forming lumps. The consistency should be smooth and creamy at this point.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract (if using), mixing until fully incorporated.
Taste and adjust the sweetness or saltiness if needed. If the kasha is too thick, you can stir in a little extra warm milk to achieve your desired consistency.
Serve the semolina kasha warm in bowls. Add your favorite toppings, such as a drizzle of honey, fresh fruits, chopped nuts, or additional butter, if desired.
