About Algerian semolina pie

Algerian Semolina Pie, known as "Tamina," is a traditional dessert rooted in Algerian cuisine, commonly prepared for celebrations like births and religious gatherings. This sweet dish features roasted semolina enriched with melted butter and flavored with honey, giving it a rich and comforting taste. The pie’s texture is smooth and slightly dense, making it a unique treat with layers of nutty and caramelized flavors. While Tamina is a source of energy due to its carbohydrate content from semolina and honey, its high butter and sugar content make it calorie-dense, so portion control is key for a balanced intake. Semolina provides essential minerals like magnesium and iron, making it lightly nutritious, though moderation is advised. As a cultural icon, this dessert reflects the warmth and sweetness of Algerian hospitality, offering a taste of tradition in every bite.
