Ingredients

• 200 grams semolina
• 500 milliliters water
• 50 grams butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by placing a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat and pouring in the water.

Step 2

Add the salt to the water and bring it to a gentle boil.

Step 3

Once the water reaches a boil, gradually sprinkle the semolina into the saucepan while constantly stirring with a whisk or wooden spoon to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 4

Lower the heat to a simmer and continue to stir the semolina mixture for about 8-10 minutes until it thickens and the grains are tender. The consistency should be smooth and creamy.

Step 5

As the semoule cooks, periodically scrape down the sides of the pan to incorporate any semolina that may stick.

Step 6

Once the desired consistency is achieved, remove the saucepan from the heat.

Step 7

Add the butter and olive oil, stirring until both are thoroughly melted and incorporated into the semoule.

Step 8

Transfer the semoule cuite into a serving dish or individual bowls.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh flavor and presentation.

Step 10

Serve immediately while warm, as a side dish, or enjoy it on its own!
